Wildflower Sensation of Colour 2023

REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5.4%

Made in collaboration with M&J Becker Wines (Pokolbin NSW), Sensation of Colour is a golden barrel aged ale wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers in NSW macerated on Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier pomace. Like many of our beers aged on pressed grape skins (pomace) the name makes reference to René Descartes’ philosophies on optics and colour.

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.
