Collaboration with Prairie Artisan Ales
Natural Union was brewed with Hill Country well water, malted barely, Texas-grown raw wheat, raw sugar, hops, rosemary, and lemon bee-balm, and fermented in oak barrels with Jester King’s unique mixed culture of microorganisms consisting of brewer’s yeast and native yeast and bacteria cultured from the air and wildflowers around the brewery. It is 7.1% alcohol by volume, 42 IBU, and has a finishing gravity of 1.002 (0.5 degrees Plato). The label art for Natural Union, which pictures Garrett Crowell with a basket of lemon bee-balm and Chase Healey with a handful of rosemary, was a collaborative effort between Colin Healey of Prairie and Josh Cockrell of Jester King

Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a slightly hazy golden body with some sticky lacing. Nice nose of funk and citrus. Taste mirrors nose with a smooth, smooth feel and wonderful tart finish. This will go great paired with my Rauchbier poached salmon that's in the oven as I type. What a nice experience as I've had this cellarred for well over three years. Gotta go! Cheers!
