Hop BroROMEO BREWERY in Oshiage just tapped No.65 Provence Saison. It's a herb-forward saison, and honestly it sounds like a seriously tempting pour.
MugiWhat! A herb-scented saison? Is that a beer or a fancy appetizer? What does it taste like?
Hop BroThe style is Herb Saison, made with lemongrass, fennel, and orange peel. At 5.8% ABV, it feels built to go nicely with food.
MugiWait, what even is a saison? That sounds less like beer and more like a secret password!
Hop BroA saison is usually spicy and dry on the finish. Put simply, it's aromatic up front and crisp on the way out.
MugiNo way, and fennel brings an anise-like aroma too? This beer just wandered straight into a herb garden!
Hop BroThen orange peel helps shape the aroma, and with IBU 21 and SRM 4.4, the numbers point to gentle bitterness and a pale color.
MugiHold on, IBU and SRM? Why do I suddenly feel like I got handed homework?
Hop BroBasically, they're bitterness and color guides. IBU 21 means mild bitterness, and SRM 4.4 means a lighter look, so it should drink very easily.
MugiOhhh, and a white-wine-like finish totally makes me want seafood with it.
Hop BroExactly, it's the kind of beer you want with seafood like pescatore or bouillabaisse. The herbal lift should sit naturally with tomato acidity too.
MugiThat's it, meet me in Oshiage. ROMEO BREWERY just made both of us want this pour immediately!
Romeo Brewery, a beer pub in Oshiage, Tokyo, has introduced a new tap: No.65 Provence Saison. It is listed as an Herb Saison with 5.8% ABV, 21 IBU, and 4.4 SRM, pointing to a beer that should stay light on its feet while keeping enough structure to work with food.
The recipe uses lemongrass and fennel, with orange peel added to make it easier to drink. In the post, the brewery describes citrus aromas from the lemongrass and orange peel, fennel’s anise-like note, and a refreshing impression. Saison yeast brings a spicy edge, while the dry finish leaves a white-wine-like aftertaste. It is a clearly food-oriented seasonal beer with a herbal profile.
Suggested pairings are pescatore and bouillabaisse, both seafood dishes that should play well with the beer’s citrus and herbal character. At Romeo Brewery, where beer and food are closely linked, Provence Saison looks like a natural fit for a meal-focused visit. For drinkers looking for a Saison with a more botanical profile, this is one to note.
