Saison 4.5 º

Wunderkammer Biermanufaktur

This rustic Saison expresses a delicate, pastoral character through the integration of Goldenrod and Honey. The nose is greeted by floral honey sweetness and dried herbal notes from the goldenrod, mingling with a bright, mixed-culture acidity. Despite the addition of honey, the fermentation is bone-dry, yielding a highly attenuated profile that emphasizes grainy malt and a faint, earthy funk. A light, lemon-pith tartness balances the spicy yeast phenolics, while the low alcohol content ensures a refreshing, effervescent finish. It is a nuanced exploration of terroir, balancing wild fermentation with gentle, honeyed aromatics and a clean, refreshing presence on the palate.

Appearance. Pale gold (4-6 SRM); dense, rocky white head with excellent retention and Belgian lacing; slightly hazy/opalescent due to mixed culture and lack of filtration.

Aroma. High intensity; complex floral and herbal goldenrod notes layered over wildflower honey. Spicy yeast phenolics like white pepper are present, alongside a subtle, leathery funk from the mixed culture. Low grainy malt character.

Taste. Initial impression is tart and crisp; soft, grainy malt flavor is quickly overtaken by a floral honey character and herbal goldenrod. Low hop bitterness, but the dry finish and mixed-culture acidity provide a firm, cleansing snap. Fermentation is very dry with lingering spicy aftertaste and lemon-pith acidity.

Mouthfeel. Light body; very high, effervescent carbonation; no alcohol warmth; prickly and refreshing with a slight, clean acidity and no astringency.
