This Saison farmhouse ale is in honor of the noble labor in which the monks engage. Hazy blonde in color, these rustic ales are designed to be complex and contemplative, but also refreshing and drinkable after a day in the fields. What makes it so refreshing? Earthy and spicy aromas, with a faint citrus tang; a body that is light and layered with fruit and spice accents; and a dry, peppery, refreshing finish. 7% ABV.
The Ovila Saison is doubly special! Released only once, it is the 2nd of 3 in the series, and a portion of the proceeds will go toward the restoration of the historic Ovila chapter house in Vina, California. This medieval building is on the grounds of the Abbey of New Clairvaux, just a few miles north of Sierra Nevada’s home in Chico.
