Antidoot - Wilde Fermenten

This rustic Saison showcases a deeply textured profile born from the use of barley malt, raw wheat, and both raw and unhusked oats. Two years of oak barrel aging imparts a refined wood character and structural tannins that complement the wild fermentation signatures. The aroma is a complex tapestry of stone fruit esters, spicy black pepper phenols, and earthy continental hops. On the palate, a distinctively grainy and rustic foundation is balanced by moderate bitterness and a bone-dry finish. The unhusked oats lend a unique tactile grit and savory depth to this farmhouse-inspired ale, while the extended aging integrates a mellow wood-driven complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange with a persistent, rocky ivory head. Significant haze from the high percentage of raw wheat and oats; highly effervescent with fine rising bubbles and excellent Belgian lace.

Aroma. High intensity with a blend of peppery phenols and pome fruit esters. Layered notes of raw grain, sun-dried hay, and a noticeable oak-driven vanillin and toasted wood presence. Low earthy and floral hop character with a hint of sourdough-like tartness.

Taste. Initial grainy sweetness of raw wheat and oats quickly gives way to complex fermentation flavors of lemon zest and cracked white pepper. Moderate hop bitterness is enhanced by a rustic, tannic bite from the unhusked oats. The finish is exceptionally dry and lingering with a subtle woody astringency and moderate acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a crisp, highly carbonated, and effervescent texture. A unique tannic astringency from the husks and oak provides structure, accompanied by a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
