5.6% Mixed Fermentation Saison

750ml Bottle

A blend of 2 barrels, a 12 month and 18 month mixed fermentation saison. Both were heavily hopped with whole leaf aged Jester and Goldings before beginning their journey in an open top fermenter. They were transferred to freshly steamed barrels to begin a slow secondary fermentation in oak. I taste the barrel stock every month or 2. These 2 particular barrels were great on their own and together they were spectacular. I decided to blend them and added a very small dry hop to help elevate the aroma. After 2 days at ambient temperature I primed the beer with cane sugar an 5L of freshly fermenting beer from the open top fermenter and kegged and bottled the batch with my lovely wife.

A blend of 12 & 18 month oak aged mixed culture saison.  Lightly dry hopped at blending and bottle conditioned for 4 months.

This blend has a gentle approachable acidity, paired well with an aged hop character providing some firm tannin structure to keep everything in balance.

I'm getting: grapefruit zest, green tea, mojito
