Wildflower Amber
REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 6%
"A blend of five barrels aged 14, 15, 17, 9 and 6 months. This latest blend has a beautiful sweet nose of soft caramel, malt and toasted bread. It’s enveloping, with warm oak and brown spices. A palate lined with sweet raisins, vanilla and cocoa. It’s full and complex, nutty and malty with a firm oak spice complementing the classic Amber acidity." - Topher
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.
