An everyday drinking beer, borne out of a Wildly different concept
An everyday drinking beer, borne out of a Wildly different concept. Using our own version of a Solera aging system (most commonly associated with Sherry, Madeira, Port and other fortified wines), we’re creating a unique blended beer.
Although this Saison has had the same love and affection found in our most sought after barrel-aged beers, it has the simplicity and drinkability of a more sessionable beer.
Blending a young crisp beer and barrel-aged beer gives a long, distinct, authentic Wild Beer Co finish. This is a rustic spicy Saison with a barrel-aged aspect, funky yeast complexity, crisp yet round grainy fullness from local spelt and a European resinous hop character.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Poured a hazy copper in colour, with moderate carbonation and no head. Sweetish aroma, with floral hops, toffee and green herb aroma. Light mouth feel, with yeasty, peppery saison notes and a gentle finish. Had a pleasant, rustic edge that brought back distant memories of Blaugies, but could have done with more body.
