Ale Fermented in Oak
In the Meadows is a blended wheat saison.
The 2023 blend was created from two distinct beers. The first was brewed with wheat and spelt, hopped with flower grown in Germany and New Zealand, open fermented and then aged in neutral oak. The other was brewed with wheat and oats, hopped with flower from Washington and New Zealand, and barrel fermented in neutral oak.
This beer was refermented to condition in the bottle.

Crystal clear golden coloration; carbonation bubbles up into about a finger of head that quickly recedes. After a few minutes, hardly any carbonation is noticeable without agitating the glass.
Give this one a couple minutes to open up in the glass. With time, a subtle honey sweetness greets the nose right away. Following closely are notes of stone fruit, wildflowers, lemon zest, fresh-cut grass, and damp, musty oak.
The palate is dry and restrained, but with time you can really pick out a great bouquet of flavors. It favors the more floral character, with a bit of bittering grapefruit, peach skin, and oak lactones.
The mouthfeel is phenomenal; dry, with a soft effervescence and restrained tartness. A tightly cohesive saison.
