Mixed Culture Saison 5.9%
Kensington, VIC

Since the inception of Sobremesa I have been ageing whole flower hops in hessian coffee bags. This is a common practice in Belgium. Aging hops leads to oxidation of acids and oils. In addition to their antimicrobial activity, aged hops contribute important earthy/herbal tea like flavour and aroma compounds while not contributing much of a strong bitterness. This is the first blend that has utilised these hops and sadly the last brew using malt from House of Malt (VIC). 60% Pilsner, 30% Raw Wheat, 10% Flaked Spelt. Extended 3-hour boil & hopped exclusively w/ aged whole flower styrian golding (SL). Fermented in two 500L puncheons for 13 months w/ a blend of our house saison strain, pediococcus, lactobacillus & five strains of brettanomyces. This is a 50/50 blend of both those barrels. - Sobremesa
