Description
Barrel-aged in French oak barrels formerly maturing our Cherry Sour “Le temps des Cerises” this saison has first been fermented clean in stainless steel with a French saison yeast strain and some fresh Apricots.
Once fully fermented the beer has been transferred to oak barrels and has aged with more Australian Apricots, Belgian lactobacillus, pediococus and brettanomyces. After extracting oak, Apricot and Apricot pit character, the barrels have been blended to reach the perfect balance.
It is smooth and round, yet vibrant. with toasted Apricot pit, vanilla, yellow and white stone fruit and funk character. It is worth swirling and oxidating in the glass to release it’s full presence. Drink chilled. This beer is alive.
