We had the pleasure of hosting Marika and Aaron of Scratch Brewing last August for a collaboration complete with a camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula. The result is a saison made with ingredients foraged from the Olympic Peninsula: Madrone Bark, Yarrow and sea water from the Pacific Ocean.
Madrone has a delicate aroma of honey suckle followed by notes of mushrooms, baked apples and cinnamon. Brewed with a variety of malts from LINC in eastern Washington and a salt addition from the Pacific Ocean courtesy of the sea water, Madrone carries a full body while finishing dry.
We first met Marika and Aaron in 2017 and bonded over our shared love for the outdoors, utilizing the abundance of ingredients around us and making beers that truly are an expression of the time and place we live.

5oz pour at The Magnet. Pours cloudy pale gold with moderate white head. Aroma has rustic yeast, dry wood, maybe a bit of salt water; no yarrow. Flavour is dry with a slightly herbal rustic base, gentle aromatics. Flavour is not bad, but pretty light. Mouthfeel is dry with moderate carbonation.

Hazy pale, just a thin head. A bit phenolic, light brett, some sweet pale malt. Some herbal notes, maybe like rosemary.
