Once again, we are bringing back our wildflower saison, but this time with a fresh new blend of flowers, and a tweaked recipe designed to complement this new bouquet. We quite enjoy making these flower-focused saisons. While hops normally steal the show in beer, hops are simply a particular type of flower. By using other flower blends, it further broadens the array of flavours you can potentially achieve. This year we did a blend of Rose, Hibiscus, and Chrysanthemum. Initially greeted by a bright citrus character from the Kiyomi peel, this blend of flowers gives a sweet and rosy aromatic character with a light herbal undertone. This is further complemented by a blend of Talus, Lorien and X-14 hops, offering a honeydew melon and lychee-like sweet fruit undertone to the beer. To contrast and support those flavours, we took the malt base in a slightly unconventional direction, using a blend of rye, wheat and special B malt, giving the beer a deep copper colour with a little bit of spice and raisin malt character. All of this was fermented with a farmhouse saison strain, giving the beer a layer of citrus and peppery yeast esters. In true saison fashion this beer was brewed with a wide mix of ingredients and focuses more on the blend of flavours achieved from these ingredients. With a dry finish, this beer is quite refreshing and floral while evolving in flavour with each sip.
