In November 2018 Jeff from Atom Brewing (Colorado, USA) came over to brew together our first batch of our second season. As it was also the last day of cidermaking, we decided to use the pomace of the (Normandy bitter) apples in the coolship for one night. For refermentation we used only fresh apple juice. The beer was brewed with pilsner malt, raw wheat and aged hops, and is meant as an alternative version of our naked base beer. Bottled October 2019.

Pours a clouded golden color with a smaller, glass coating head.

Smells of apple skin, light mushrooms and cream cheese among a leathery note, matured herbs together and some orange zest. Got a resinous pine note, opening up the nose to smoky apple pith and a zingy lime pulp note.

Drinks utmost refreshing with a lighter body, producing a thirst quenching effervescence and tartness from beginning till the end.

Tastes of a sudden lime bitterness, blood oranges and matured herbs among sweeter, fermenting apples. Turns utmost funky then, with wet basement, shrooms and used washcloth among a sun ripened apple counterpart. Finishes dry, bitter and sweet, combining the funk of the beer playfully with the utmost fruity apple juice, creating an intriguing, complex beer till the last drop.

Very unusual, complex and convincing - this pushes the boundaries of what a beer can be successfully. The cider in this adds a lot of flavor nuances you wouldn‘t expect in a Saison normally, creating a subtle sweet- and smokiness, which the base beer just could never provide on its own.
