Saisons are one of craft beer’s most sophisticated styles. Exhibiting many similarities to wine, their intricate fruitiness and dry earthy tones deliver upper echelon taste.

New Zealand’s pride and joy, 8 Wired Brewing Co. uses a special native ingredient to take this elegance to soaring heights with Saison Sauvin.

Featuring hard to come by, white-wine forward New Zealand Nelson Sauvin Hops, this Farmhouse frontloads with vinous grapes, pineapple and papaya - turning this Belgian style into a vibrant tropical dance even the most seasoned of Saison fans will salivate over.

Clean fruit flavors of the hops propel alongside French Saison yeast to create a kaleidoscope of gooseberry, white grapes, freshly cut lemon and banana on top of a bed of tropic splendor. Dry with a controlled bitter, Sauvin lands on the palate with complete lucidity.

Named for a variety of Sauvignon Blanc grapes, Nelson Sauvin is one of the most in-demand hops in the world. Incredibly complex with striking flavor versatility, these hops are right at home in a Saison and the Kiwis of 8 Wired harness their capabilities better than anybody.
