Ingredients

Co-owner Will Quinlin told All About Beer he made a smaller version of the regular saison and added "some nice New Zealand hops at the end" of the boil (All About Beer). Tulsa People reports the beer reuses the same saison yeast blend as the brewery's stronger saisons (Tulsa People). No malt or specific hop variety is named anywhere.

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Session Beer covers lighter versions of any style at 0.5 to 5.0 percent ABV and 10 to 35 IBU, with balance and drinkability as the key goals. Every published ABV figure (3.7% to about 4.2%) fits inside the range.

Research Notes

• The brewery site has no beer pages, and its tap list page returned no listings, so there is no beer url.
• ABV conflict: Untappd lists 3.7%, the Craft Beer and Brewing review lists 4.2%, and Tulsa People says "around 4%". The Untappd figure, on the listing that carries the brewery's own description, is used.
• The same beer won gold in the 2022 GABF Session Beer or Belgian-Style Table Beer category, per its Untappd description.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: The explicitly dated 2025 listing gives N/A IBU and no hop varieties; its 4.5% ABV was not transferred to this year's profile. A targeted brewery domain search found no matching beer page.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery menu was read again; it gives no detail beyond the style.
