The twenty-sixth Senescence is a single wort spelt saison. It was open fermented in May 2023 and then racked to neutral barrels to finish fermentation. It was brewed with whole flower Crystal hops grown by the Kirk family at Willamette Valley Farms. This beer was made, as most of our Senescence iterations, with the idea that it would be used in a blend, but is instead presented unblended as an insight into what a single facet looks like without complement. This beer was refermented to condition in the bottle.

750 (thx, Josh) @ SF.
Nice funk, bold, rustic notes. Taste is along the same lines, rustic, moderately tart, lemony. Good one.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has lots of spicy, rustic saison yeast, plenty of bugs, some earthiness, and oak. Flavour has plenty of oak, lots of wild yeast, rustic saison yeast, and a touch of earthiness. Rustic, buggy, and oaky. Nice complexity, finishing very buggy, with a somewhat thicker-than-necessary mouthfeel. Very good.

Hazy with a light colour. Thin head. The aroma has a nice fruity hop note, some honeyish, floral notes, and hints at sweet malt. On the palate, it's actually fairly tart, especially for a Floodland. Nice floral accents still, minimal bitterness, and the hops show through a bit on the palate. This is not bad, but a shade on the tart side, mostly in terms of balance.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy blonde gold with small white head. Saison yeast base (luckily the spelt is super subtle), touch of citrusy tartness, slightly floral, decent.

750mL bottle. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Rustic saison yeast and wood on the nose; slightly floral. Flavour has a nice, rustic saison yeast character throughout, gentle dried berries,
