Wildflower Good as Gold Blend #17
REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5%
"A blend of three barrels aged 14, 15 and 19 months blended equally with fresh Gold from early in the year. Our version of a biere de coupage, blending young and old beer... this one with more than seven months in bottle before release.
A nose abundant in floral white blossoms, yellow citrus zest and woody spice… noticeable savoury oak elements and mild funk. Citrus to the fore on the palate, bright lemon zest and pithy bitterness. Linear with a dry core giving wonderful drive and seamlessness. Gentle oak notes on the finish." - 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.
