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.

Pull #3. Draft at Prototype. Pale amber with a slight haze. Subtle lactic, lots of stone fruit. Big depth here, a touch of wood and oxidation but mostly lots of acidity and fun wild fruity notes. I think this place opened just a few months after we left West Ryde and it's so far beyond anything that was down under at that time.

Soft body. Amber colour. Few bubbles on top. Gentle brett with clean balanced sweetness. Nice bit of funk to it, plus juicy leathery peach notes. Good complexity. Really nice stuff.

750ml bottle courtesy of the KL Tasting Crew. Poured a hazy medium brown colour with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is yeasty, biscuit, citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour, with a crisp, yeasty, light oak, tart plummy palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle. A lovely clear red. A wisp of white head is soon gone. Aroma of raspberries (jammy, tart and hairy), mild twiggy funk. Almost medium bodied, a little slippery. Carbonation is low. Raspberries are not quite as prominent in the taste - there's a little light bread, woody apricot stones and twigs, some pepper. Quite sour and dryish but there's some sweetness and a little bitterness as well as the wood at the end. Fairly softly spoken but deep and very nicely balanced.

Bottle from Arrogant Sour through Werckmeister. Pale peachy red with white head. Fruity, peaches, plums, lactic sourness. A bit diluted and lacking intensity, but very clean. Minerality on the finish. Good.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Gialla acida, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianca medio-leggera. Al naso note vinose, un filo citriche, frutta a pasta gialla, pasta lievita, cereale, cantina. In bocca è appena dolce all'attacco con chiusura acida medio-leggera, vinosa, leggermente tart. Corpo leggero, carbonazione medio-leggera. Interessante, con uno spunto acido più deciso sarebbe stata quasi perfetta.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Gialla acida, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianca medio-leggera. Al naso note di bretta, frutta gialla, citrico, fieno, stalla. In bocca è morbida, dolce all'attacco con chiusura acidula. Corpo leggero, carbonazione medio-leggera. Nonostante una piacevole eleganza, le manca spunto.
