Our second barrel release, Affection. A Spelt Farmhouse Ale with Rosemary & Sage, aged for seven months in (Chardonnay barrel) oak. The result is a bone dry Saison-style beer with a beautiful bouquet of floral and botanical aromatics. The flavours of Rosemary & Sage are well balanced and backed with a soft acidity, minerality and earthy funk. A subtle dry-hopping lends some background notes of lemon, lime, grapefruit pith and pine. Light tannins from the oak add to the crispness of the finish.

Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy golden color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and limited lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some light oak and light herbal notes. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with some oak notes, light funky notes with some light herbal notes with subtle rosemary notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but I was expecting more prominent notes of rosemary and sage.
