Yeast – house mixed culture
Our mixed culture fermentation saison contains two or three strains of commercial saison yeast, along with various wild and commercial yeast and bacteria: we’ve isolated brettanomyces strains from our barrels; we have grown up wild yeast collected from local fruit; we have blended in dregs from bottles of mixed fermentation beers that we have enjoyed; and we have added commercially available brettanomyces strains, 3 lactobacillus strains, and some pediococcus. Once the saison yeast’s initial fermentation has run its course, the beer undergoes a long secondary fermentation/conditioning phase as the wild yeast and bacteria start to make their impression.
The initial result is fresh, tart, lively and sometimes citric. It has a dry finish, a spritz of carbonation, the distinctive spiciness of the saison yeast, and a touch of lemon, grass and herbs, with a cleansing and slightly sour tang. As the beer ages, the brettanomyces adds more spices, fruits, a touch of horse and leather.
Some of this Biere de Saison becomes the base beer that we either blend and ferment or age in oak barrels or foeder. The beer can be dry-hopped or re-fermented with whole fruit, such as damsons, quince or apricots.
Expect a dry, effervescent and tart / sour beer alongside notes of our chosen additions.

On tap at The Kernel - Spa Road. Pours murky dull reddish-purple with an off-white head. Musty wood and damsun on the nose. Flavour is musty and earthy with loads of damsun and musty wood and spicy saison yeast. Slightly tart. Very nice.

Color rojo, velada, espuma ligeramente rosácea de corta retención, aunque mantiene un velo que no desaparece. Rico aroma a frutos rojos, levadura, caramelo de cereza, establo, algo de cuero y granero, ácido láctico. Bastante ácida el boca, punzante, astringente, notas de cereza, vinagre de manzana, laban, final agrio y seco. Muy rica

On tap at the Van Moll fest. Nem keszitettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sort.

В аромате есть вишня и много ноток сена с дикими дрожжами. В целом ягодный, возможно еще немного малины. Цвет вишни, пенки почти нету. Вкус хорошего сизона. Есть сено с ягодами, снова как будто красная смородина или малина. В конце немного косточки от черешни. Много сена на послевкусие. В целом сизон в стиль.

Bottle from Candy & Liquor, Navigation St, Birmingham. Hazy red with small pink tinged head. Aroma of damsons, wood, light funk; a nice freshness to it. Taste of tart damsons, cherry, grains, sherbet, some lemon sharpness in the finish. Soft carbonation, semi-drying. Very good.

Murky purple beer, thin off white head. Tart, fruity aroma. Flavour has sharp fruit with the damson, citrus, a dash herbal, a touch of breadiness and a lingering sharpness. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Red with a brief white head. Gently funky aroma with plums, lemon, crackers. Slightly tart and only fairly dry with nice fruit. No particular bitterness.
Tart :)
