In early September the hops we grow on our little field, in the village of Chelsworth, become ready for picking. The hop oils and aromas are all around you when handpicking in the September sunshine, so we decided to brew a beer to let these fresh green hops shine as well. Only our organically grown Suffolk hops and barley malt were used in the 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 mouth coating of hop oils and pepper, orchard fruit flavours are at the fore with more funky spice from the yeast on the finish.

330ml bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Ambrata scarica, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca medio-leggera, non molto persistente. Al naso note vinose, leggermente acetiche, legno, bretta (cuoio), esteri. In bocca è acida media, con leggera punta acetica e lieve astringenza. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-leggera. Splendido uso del legno su una birra base già notevole!

Keg at GBBF ‘19, day three, 08/08/19. Lightly hazed orange golden with an off white cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is tarte fruits, bitter orange, funk, damp straw. Taste comprises pissy fruits, damp cloth, funk, tangy fruits, trace of dry rot. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow acidic throat scrape. Decent sour … more so than a saison.
