Organic Harvest Saison (2017)
(Batch of Organic Harvest Saison)

2017 Vintage. In early September, when the hops we grow on our little field in nearby Chelsworth become ready for picking, we harvest the crop for use in our beers. The hop oils and aromas are all around us as we handpick each flower in the September sunshine. As a result we decided to brew a beer that will let these fresh green hops shine. Only our organically grown Suffolk hops and barley malt were used in this brew. The beer was primary fermented with a Saison yeast strain and then a secondary fermentation, in oak barrels, with our own locally collected wild yeast. The resulting beer is dry with a mouth coating of hop oils and pepper, orchard fruit flavours are at the fore, with more funky spice from the yeast on the finish.
