Flügge Ruedi
Saison 9 º
Flügge Ruedi presents as a powerful, rustic interpretation of a Saison, elevated by a unique fermentation profile. The collaboration with Blackwell yields a complex interplay between a Lithuanian farmhouse yeast and a nuanced house culture. This results in an aromatic explosion of ripe pome fruits and zesty orange, underpinned by a distinct earthy spiciness reminiscent of cracked black pepper and sun-dried hay. Despite its robust 9% ABV, the beer maintains a remarkable dryness and effervescence. Grainy malt notes provide a soft foundation for the firm hop bitterness, while the specialized cultures introduce a faint, refreshing tang that sharpens the lingering, spicy finish.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange with a slight haze from being unfiltered. Topped with a long-lasting, dense, rocky ivory head that leaves persistent Belgian lace.
Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex mix of fruity esters like orange peel and pear, coupled with a moderately-high spicy character resembling black pepper. Earthy and floral continental hops are present, supported by a light, rustic grainy malt aroma and a faint, wild-culture funk.
Taste. Initial impression is very dry and fruity. Moderate hop bitterness is balanced by soft, grainy malt. Flavors of citrus zest and stone fruit dominate, transitioning into a spicy, peppery fermentation character. The finish is remarkably dry and bitter with a lingering, spicy aftertaste and a subtle, refreshing acidity from the house culture.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with very high carbonation, creating an effervescent and lively sensation. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, complemented by a light creaminess from cereal grains without any lingering heaviness.
