Hipsteržeiris is a rustic and modern interpretation of a Saison, drawing heavily from Finnish Sahti traditions. This raw ale presents a unique interplay between earthy juniper berries and the tropical, dank pungency of Strata hops. The inclusion of rye provides a spicy, grainy foundation that anchors the expressive, fruity esters typical of the style. Expect a complex sensory journey where herbal gin-like aromatics meet passion fruit and grapefruit. Its unfiltered, raw nature provides a velvety texture that contrasts with the dry finish, creating a bridge between historical farmhouse brewing and contemporary hop-forward styles.
Appearance.Pale amber to deep gold (7-12 SRM). Features a dense, rocky ivory head with moderate retention. Due to the raw ale process and rye content, clarity is hazy to nearly opaque with visible effervescence.
Aroma.High intensity featuring a complex blend of tropical passion fruit and strawberry from Strata hops, layered over resinous juniper and peppery yeast esters. The malt presents a rustic, spicy rye character with light grainy notes.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of citrus and tropical fruit followed by an herbal, piney juniper bite. The malt profile is distinctly grainy and spicy due to the rye. Fermentation provides a dry, peppery finish with moderate bitterness that balances the hop tea influence. Complex aftertaste of gin-like botanicals and stone fruit.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a characteristic silkiness from the raw ale technique and cereal grains. Carbonation is high and effervescent. Very low alcohol warmth with no significant astringency despite the juniper and hop levels.
