Late Bloomer Hibiscus Saison
Draught Works

Brewed with pink peppercorns, a double dose of dried hibiscus flowers (boil kettle and post filtration), and a farmhouse style yeast, this Saison invokes characteristics of pink bubblegum, tart, red fruits and a slightly spicy note. Primarily using Pilsener malt, with additions of Munich and Wheat, the body and malt characteristics are low, giving way to the fruity esters presented by the Belgian yeast strain and allow the rosy hue of the hibiscus to shine. By using two strains of noble hops (Saaz and East Kent Goldings) for both bittering and flavor/aroma, the earthy and spicy hop notes compliment the phenolics of this farmhouse ale. 180 gallons of this beer are aging in 3 wine barrels to be re-released in early Summer.
