malt in the mash and aged hops in the boil. The other half was a fresher 12 month old hoppy saison bringing in esters, a bit of funk and overall exuberance. The blend result is a creamy, tannin rich beer with toffee apple, pear, lime zest and grapefruit notes. Acidity is there and a slow building bitterness finds you after a few sips to balance it out.
