Batch #4
A remarkable fusion of styles, this unique brew combines wild barrel-aged saison, Flanders red ale fermented with succulent Marionberries, and crisp lager. Each element contributes to a rich tapestry of flavors that evolve beautifully over time. After blending, the beer rested on an impressive 5,000 pounds of whole Washington blueberries in a French oak foeder for an extended 9 weeks, allowing the flavors to meld and mature. The result is nothing short of stunning: as you pour, it reveals a deep, royal purple hue that captivates the eye. On the nose, bold berry jam aromas burst forth, inviting you to dive in. The taste is a delightful interplay of tartness and sweetness, with each sip showcasing the vibrant essence of the blueberries and marionberries. The wild fermentation adds layers of complexity, while the oak imparts a subtle creaminess that balances the fruit's bright acidity. With over 4 pounds of fruit per gallon, this beer is a celebration of Washington’s bounty, delivering an explosion of berry flavor that lingers on the palate. Perfect for warm days or as a refreshing companion to savory dishes, this blend invites you to savor its intricate character and enjoy the delightful dance of fruit and fermentation.
