The Kernel Brewery Saison Blend 2018/2021
Saison 5.2 º
This Saison blend presents a masterful harmony between aged complexity and youthful vibrancy. The pour evokes a rustic character, led by a firm, refreshing tartness from the mixed-fermentation 2018 components. Aromas of sun-ripened stone fruit and earthy, peppery yeast are balanced by the subtle, pithy character of Apricot stone. On the palate, the 2021 Grisette base provides a lean, wheaty backbone and a crisp, bitter counterpoint to the older beer’s acidity. It finishes remarkably dry and effervescent, showcasing the sophisticated interplay of esters and a clean, mineral-driven finish characteristic of this farmhouse style.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (6-8 SRM); long-lasting, rocky white head with excellent lacing; hazy and unfiltered due to mixed fermentation and yeast sediment.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity; aromas of lactic tartness and bright apricot skin are dominant, supported by a rustic, grainy wheat malt character. Hop character is earthy and floral, while the yeast contributes notes of cracked black pepper and pome fruit.
Taste. Initial impression is of bright, clean acidity and tart stone fruit. The mid-palate reveals soft, grainy wheat malt and a distinct pithy bitterness from the Apricot stone. Hop flavor is low and earthy. Highly attenuated and bone dry, finishing with a lingering, crisp bitterness and a refreshing lactic snap.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation. Minimal alcohol warmth. Slight pithy astringency that enhances the dry finish without being harsh.
