Seneca the Younger is one of our Wheat Farmhouse Ales. We crafted it with 75% German malted wheat, 25% German malted barley, a touch of Tahoma hops from Smokedown Farm Hops in Sharon, CT, and our house mixed culture. Following a complex step mash schedule, we fermented and conditioned this ale in one of our American white oak foeders. After many months of conditioning in oak, it was bottled and naturally carbonated within the bottle over the course of several weeks. The beer that emerged is soft, delicate, and complex. We taste notes of candied lemon peel, blood orange, blackberry, guava, and a hint of rose.
It is named after Seneca the Younger (4 BCE – 65 CE), who was a Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright during the Roman Empire.

Pale yellow with a soft, bubbly white head that retains a decent blanket well.

A nose of cheesy funk and straw gives way to a passion fruit and peach palate with a fine carbonation before exhaling soft oak.
