Baldrsbräu is a 5.5% ABV bottle-conditioned Saison, made with hay and chamomile. The melding of the malt, light hopping, adjuncts and yeast result in a refreshing beer with notes of flower and herb.

21K beers and this is the first one I've had with hay in it. Right on. A bit foamy upon opening. On the nose, yeasty, phenolic from runaway fermentation. Hay? Maybe. Fizzy, of course. It has a dry grassiness, could be from hops, and there's some pale malt notes. The dried flower taste isn't bad, and it's more bitter than most saisons. It's ok, but the overeager bottle ferment, giving it that excess carbonation, makes it tougher to really appreciate the nuances that this beer brings.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rustic malt notes with light hay and peppery yeast notes is quite enticing. Taste is nice mix of rustic malt notes with some peppery yeast notes and light hay and herbal notes. Body is full with great carbonation. Classic saison with nice attenuation and good amount of complexity.
