Wildflower Good as Gold Blend #18
REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5%
"Three barrels of aged Gold blended with freshly fermented Gold and bottled in April 2022. Lifted nose full of spice and sweet French oak. Citrus looms large, zesty lemon and lime. Some time in the glass and the oak turns the bright citrus more savoury, lemon curd and vanilla. Wonderful palate, brimming with bright citrus and punchy hop flavours. Fine carbonation and juicy acidity result in a moreish combination. Lemon squash, dark spice and a hint of funk round out a seriously delicious ale." - 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.
