Saison
Alc/Vol%: 5.2 IBU: 15
Description: “Historically, Saisons’ were refreshing summer ales made by farmers. Each farm brewer would make his own distinctive version”. This season we grew a wheat originating from Bordeaux in France (Rouge de Bordeaux). We started with a hand full of seed from the Australian Seed Bank and it has taken over 3 years to produce enough on our farm. To celebrate the harvest we decided to brew a seasonal beer using our beautiful wheat and Pearle hop flowers grown on our farm . The resulting beer is a light refreshing wheat beer with complex citrus tones and a slightly sour finish. A lovely golden colour with high carbonation. We hope you enjoy our Saison……
Ingredients: Traditional Ale Malt (60%), Wheat (40%) , Hops (Perle)
Pale Ale
Alc/Vol%: 5.5 IBU: 35
Description: A prominent hop aroma with a harmony of flowers, fruit, earth and spice. A clean malty sweetness may be found in the background. Fruitiness from esters and hops. A flavorful, yet refreshing, session beer. Using Willamette hops grown on our farm the emphasis is on the bittering hop addition as opposed to the aggressive middle and late hopping seen in American Pale Ales.

India Pale Ale (IPA)

This is a spicy beer with lots of estery bite and deep copper colour. Flavourful yet refreshing, session beer. Emphasis is on the bittering from first wort hopping and high temperature fermentation to bring out the most from the fruity yeast.
