We wanted to work cranberries into this year's box. They're seasonal, evocative, and quite tasty. Their flavour is also unique, and overall quite drying, so we had to brew a beer that'd support these qualities. We eventually landed on a black saison recipe. The dark and roasted malt flavours marry well with the drying quality of cranberries, whilst the spiced and humic qualities of the Belgian yeast blend well with their earthy characters. Osedax Fields carries a lot of diverse flavours that marry well and create a truly unique brew.

Draught Small greige-transparant rim over brownred-shot black beer. Dry, charcoal, brown candi sugar, roast malts. Sourish-sweet main flavour, with a roast surrounding. Quite fruity instead of spicy-hoppy as a black IPA. Light body, good carbonation, long aftertaste. Strange beer. Looks like a black IPA, tastes like one of these newish fruit milkshake ""saisons"".
