Wildflower Gold

REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5.0%

"Truly a good expression of our beer. Aromas of pear skin, zesty lemon, brown spice and sweet gentle vanilla. Toasty warm oak and spiced citrus. There’s a lovely warmth to the nose. Very balanced. Upfront limey citrus drive complemented by cellar funk, a mid palate showing hop spice and pops of melon and stone fruit. Delicate acid with a savoury, earthy finish. The base beer is brewed entirely with certified organic cereals from Chris and Sam Greenwood's farm in Coleambally NSW. Organic raw Red wheat with Organic Schooner barley malted to a pale roast by Voyager Craft Malt. It is made with filtered Sydney water and Organic Motueka (NZ) and Saaz (CZ) hops. Finally, it was fermented with our house culture: brewers yeast, foraged wild yeast and naturally occurring souring bacteria native to New South Wales. It was bottled on 25 August 2021 and naturally conditioned through refermentation for 7 months."

It's difficult to overstate the impact of Wildflower since its inception only a few years ago in 2017. Hailing from Texas, Topher Boehm has an impressive resume - from Brasserie Thiriez to Jester King to his background in astrophysics - not to mention his unique house yeast. Cultivated from foraged wildflowers native to NSW, think wattle blossoms and banksia, blended with a Belgian saison strain, creating something truly individual which speaks of place. Topher even sprayed the entire brewery with inoculated wort when he moved in, just to make sure everything was literally covered in the house culture.
