Elderberry Saison
(has 1 batch)

This summer we used elderflower in a Saison - and it was a revelation! The floral aroma, and the way the subtle hedgerow notes matched with spicy yeast, seemed perfect for a dry Saison. Elderberries have some of the same qualities toned down and with the interesting addition of a powerful dark fruit and slightly bitter flavour. The berries slowly infused their flavour over several months in the barrel; they also give the beer its amazing purple colour.
