Production & Heritage

Liquid Love Brewing operates out of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, at their Busch Parkway facility, producing a rotating lineup of craft styles. Easy Peasy was brewed in collaboration with Light the Lamp Brewery, combining each brewery's strengths in a single saison. The beer is dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin — a New Zealand hop variety prized for its white wine and gooseberry character — and then conditioned on Meyer lemon peel, adding a layered citrus dimension not typically found in traditional farmhouse ales.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright Meyer lemon zest leads, followed by the white grape and gooseberry notes characteristic of Nelson Sauvin hops. A subtle peppery, yeast-driven spice rounds out the nose, consistent with farmhouse tradition.

Taste: The entry is crisp and grain-forward with a light bready malt backbone. Mid-palate, the Meyer lemon conditioning emerges clearly — community reviews describe a pronounced and pleasant lemon presence. The Nelson Sauvin dry hopping contributes a vinous, slightly tropical quality that bridges citrus and spice toward a dry finish.

Finish: Clean and dry, as expected from a well-attenuated saison. Lingering lemon peel bitterness and a faint peppery warmth from the yeast carry through, encouraging another sip.

How to Drink Easy Peasy

Serve chilled in a tulip glass or Belgian-style goblet to concentrate the aromatic hop and lemon notes; the 7% ABV has enough structure to hold up slightly below refrigerator temperature. A Shandy riff works well here — the existing lemon character pairs naturally with a splash of sparkling lemonade. Try it alongside a Radler build with grapefruit soda for a lower-ABV session drink. It also substitutes beautifully for white wine in a Beer Spritz, topped with a dash of Aperol and soda water to play off the vinous Nelson Sauvin hop profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Easy Peasy taste like? Easy Peasy delivers a prominent Meyer lemon citrus character layered over a dry, peppery farmhouse ale base, with gooseberry and white grape undertones from Nelson Sauvin dry hopping. Drinkers on Untappd frequently highlight its refreshing lemon-forward profile.

How does Easy Peasy compare to a traditional Belgian saison? Classic Belgian saisons like Saison Dupont emphasize earthy, peppery yeast character with minimal hop presence, while Easy Peasy leans into New World hop aromatics and Meyer lemon conditioning for a more citrus-driven, fruit-forward interpretation of the style. Both share a dry, effervescent finish, but Easy Peasy reads more contemporary and hop-accented.

Is Easy Peasy good for craft beer beginners? Yes — the bright lemon character and clean finish make it one of the more approachable entries into the farmhouse style, though the 7% ABV means it carries more weight than a typical session beer.

Where is Easy Peasy made? Easy Peasy is brewed at Liquid Love Brewing, located at 1310 Busch Parkway in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. It was produced as a collaboration with Light the Lamp Brewery.

What foods pair well with Easy Peasy? Grilled shrimp or white fish benefit from the beer's lemon-forward acidity. Goat cheese salads echo the tangy, dry profile. Herb-roasted chicken works with the peppery saison yeast character. Thai green curry finds balance against the citrus and effervescence. Light charcuterie boards with mild, creamy cheeses complement without competing.

What sizes does Easy Peasy come in? Easy Peasy is available in a four-pack of cans; individual can volume may vary by release, so check the packaging for exact pour size.

Is Easy Peasy worth the price? Easy Peasy positions in the craft four-pack tier, and the collaboration pedigree, specialty hop selection (Nelson Sauvin), and Meyer lemon peel conditioning represent genuine added complexity over comparably priced saisons. Its 3.6 rating on Untappd across 212-plus check-ins reflects solid community approval.

Why Easy Peasy?

What separates Easy Peasy from the growing crowd of American-brewed saisons is the specificity of its ingredient choices. Nelson Sauvin is an expensive, limited-allocation hop that most breweries reserve for flagship IPAs, yet Liquid Love and Light the Lamp deployed it in a farmhouse context where its white wine and gooseberry qualities amplify rather than overpower the yeast-driven complexity. The Meyer lemon peel conditioning adds a second citrus layer that feels integrated rather than gimmicky. For drinkers seeking a saison that bridges Old World dryness and New World hop character, this collaboration delivers a genuinely distinctive glass of beer.
