A variant of the Belgian “Wit” or “Blanche” style, but a little drier and considerably more flavourful, Darbyste is a saison made with wheat and fermented with fig juice.

Cloudy and medium amber in colour, it offers fruity aromas with lots of tartness and funkiness.

Not surprisingly, the aroma smacks of figs, with notes of raisin, pear and red grapes rounding things out. Some brown sugar on the nose as well. On the palate, things get quite interesting. 

Blaugies is a small family-owned craft brewery established in 1988 and creating unfiltered beers, refermented in bottles or in casks.
