MatrimoniAle

This Saison was brewed to celebrate the marriage of assistant brewer Matt Voelker and his lovely bride Cecliy. Brewed with torrified basmati rice and grapefruit rind, this Saison is packed with bright fruit and citrus flavors with a crisp, bitter finish. Brewed with 40% white wheat, along with Pilsner, 2-Row and puffed Basmati Rice for a deeper malt complexity. Whirlpool additions of Galaxy and Centennial hops add subtle notes of tropical fruit, while grapefruit rind additions at whirlpool and in the serving tank add bright citrus aromas and flavors and additional bitterness. Fermented at lower than normal temperatures, the “farmhouse” character of this yeast strain is more subdued, leaving bright fruity esters more pronounced. Raise a glass to Matt and Cecily.
