This mixed culture saison was fermented in a red wine oak barrel for ten months before being transferred onto fruit. All the fruit is from different regions of Minnesota. Cherries from the north, raspberries from the center, and black currants from the southeast. An outrageous ration of 5.5 lbs of fruit per gallon of saison created a rare gem. We bottle conditioned this wild ale with Minnesota wildflower honey, that was aged for two years in a rye whiskey barrel. It patiently waited far away from people until its release. Share this treat at a good friend’s party.

Bottle courtesy of brewnic.
Looks like cranberry/raspberry juice with pink head. No lace.
S: cherry, raspberry, slight funky, tart, flowers.
T: there’s a lot going on and I can taste most of it. cherry, raspberry, minimally funky, tart, sweet, wine, honey, floral, oak, vanilla. Slightly medicinal. Maybe the hint of whiskey barrel?
F: fairly thin-average. Lambic-esque.
Overall: complex yet light. Very nice.

Bottle. Clear, ruby raspberry color.

Very lambic like. Kriek up front with a framboise finish. Lots of berry and fruitiness. Tart. Light wine notes. Can’t really find the wildflower honey.
