Ardennes

Belgian Saison

Made to Order Allow 1-2 weeks

Ardennes is a Belgian strain from Orval that produces unique flavours of dried sage and cracked pepper along with moderate phenolics. Its high attenuation (73-80%) creates a dry finish ideal for high-gravity Belgian strong ales, tripels, and saisons. The Orval heritage brings a distinctive character that sets it apart from other Belgian strains, with complex phenolic and ester interplay. Medium flocculation and broad temperature tolerance (18-26C) offer good practical flexibility.
