Description
Hailing from Texas, Topher Boehm has an impressive resume - from Brasserie Thiriez to Jester King to his background in astrophysics - not to mention his unique house yeast. Cultivated from foraged wildflowers native to NSW, think wattle blossoms and banksia, blended with a Belgian saison strain, creating something truly individual which speaks of place. Topher even sprayed the entire brewery with inoculated wort when he moved in, just to make sure everything was literally covered in the house culture.

11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!

Hazy yellow, thin, off-white head. Aroma of green apple, pear, plum, yellow kiwi, gooseberry. Taste has sour plum, gooseberry & kiwi, soft lactic touches in a herbal-spicy middle. Tart, fruity finish, bit woody, yellow fruits & stonefruit lingering. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Fairly decent tribute to Belgian Sours.

Bottle online from Rad Beer. Pours hazy dusty pink with a slim pinkish head. Aroma: light acetic, vinous, light smoke, hints of funk. Taste: light acetic, soft mellow vinous juicy grape, light funk, gentle tannins. Medium body with light carbonation. It's quite subtle compared to some of the other iterations but delicious all the same

A riff on Coopers Red, then. An intriguing and underestimated beer. Will it be straight to the pool room or suffer in ya jocks? Bottle, slow creeper. Clear golden amber with a white head that fades to a cm or so. Aroma of bread, old lemons, weeds. Moderately tart & not completely dry with a fairly bitter finish. Unlike Too Easy (or at least the version I had) the hops have not overwhelmed the mixed culture and the balance of elements is what makes this. After a while there's a little singed toffee note under the citrus and weeds. Bonnie. A second glass is (too) murky and less good. How's that for authentic?
