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.

'Bottle, pull 1. Clear gold with a white head that gradually fades to a good coat. Aroma of crackers, apricot, old oranges, damp fodder, bracken, spices. Funkier and sourer than their Gold but with a creaminess that''s just enough to make it slightly more than light bodied and carries the fruit towards the spiced grainy finish. Not as rounded as Gold, but this is the starting point of what they hope to be a long blending process. As ever, very drinkable and inviting rather than shouty.'

Sample at the Shelton Festival. Pours a murky, purplish, red color, with some off-white bubbles. The nose is tart cherries, vanilla, orange peel, and cinnamon. Sweet and tart. Light body, with a mild acidity. Mild and fruity.

'Bottle says 5%. Hazy straw with a small white head that doesn''t last. Aroma of lemons, the laundry, under-ripe nectarines and their stones. Light bodied, diluted kefir-like texture, low carbonation. Grainy with gentle lemony -- or even grapefruity -- sourness that gradually builds. Some twigs and spices at the end. Lovely balance and texture. Not particularly complex but _extremely_ refreshing.'
