Saison (French, "season," French pronunciation: [sɛ.zɔ̃]) is a pale ale that is generally around 7% abv, highly carbonated, fruity, spicy, and often bottle conditioned.
As a beer style, saison began as a pale ale brewed in the cooler, less active months in farmhouses in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, and stored for drinking in the summer months. These farmhouse beers would have been of a lower abv than modern saisons—around 3 to 3.5% abv on average, rising in the early 20th century to between 4.5 and 6.5% abv. They were served to farm workers who were entitled to up to five litres each workday. Brewing outside the summer months was common for all brewers before the discovery of refrigeration, due to the likelihood of the beer spoiling while fermenting in the summer, the height of airborne bacteria activity. Farmers possibly also brewed during the cooler months to provide work for their permanent staff during the quieter period. After brewing, the beer was stored until the summer when the main consumers would be seasonal workers ("saisonniers").
I feel her smooth skin slightly
brush against the back side of my arm.
I need the song started over
Your crying made me miss my favorite part.
I hear the exclaimation point!!
(Chorus 1)
Her eyes are so there [dee deee dee...]
They're greener...
Lay back, the song is almost over
I tried to hear you out but I dozed off.
I need the song started over
Your crying made me miss my favorite part.
Rachael, it's times like this I wonder!!
(Chorus 2)
Your eyes are so there [dee deee dee...]
