Freaks Brewing Boris
Boris is an effervescent and refreshing Saison that balances traditional Belgian farmhouse character with creative infusions. This champagne-like ale presents a vibrant aromatic profile where yeast-driven banana notes meld with the bright, tropical citrus punch of Citra hops. The addition of Chai tea introduces a sophisticated layer of herbal complexity and subtle spice that complements the peppery phenolics inherent to the style. On the palate, the beer is bone-dry and highly attenuated, featuring a crisp interplay between earthy noble hops and zesty fruit. The finish is clean and lingering, defined by lively carbonation and the nuanced, aromatic botanical echoes of the tea.
Appearance. Pale gold (6 SRM) with a dense, rocky white head that exhibits excellent retention and classic Belgian lacing. The body is slightly hazy and highly effervescent with visible rising carbonation.
Aroma. High aromatic intensity featuring a blend of ripe banana and pear esters alongside prominent citrus and tropical fruit notes from Citra hops. A distinct herbal and spicy Chai tea character emerges, complemented by peppery yeast phenolics and a low, grainy malt background.
Taste. Initial citrus-forward impression leads into a light, grainy malt palate. The flavor is a complex mix of grapefruit, lime, and herbal tea spices that harmonize with peppery yeast notes. Moderate bitterness is enhanced by a very high attenuation, resulting in a bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering spicy and citrusy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing sensation. No significant alcohol warmth is present, and the beer finishes with a clean, non-astringent dryness.
