Saison Cui Bono (750ml)

$18.00

Blended Wild Ale

40% Spelt Saison

40% Aged Hop Saison w/ Spent Masumoto Peaches

20% Rye Saison Aged in a Second Use Bourbon Barrel

An idiosyncratic combining of five barrels. When blending this I had in mind that awkward time of year in LA where Summer transitions into Fall, and people start thinking of colder weather and the holidays, but it remains bloody hot as hell. 40% of the blend is our American hopped Spelt Saison, which serves as a nice grounding base. Then 40% comes from 2 barrels of aged hop saison which was fermented on spent Masumoto peaches. The aged hops begin to evoke the dryness of Fall but the addition of stone fruit clings the senses to the nostalgia of warmer weather. And the last 20% comes from one reddish rye wild ale fermented and aged in second use Four Roses Bourbon barrel, which firmly establishes and affirms our desire to transition into cooler times. The relatively large 7.8% ABV warms the soul and relaxes the mind.

A light opaque orange color. It has sort of a peach skin hue, but it also reminds me of clouds at dusk. Lots of wood on the aroma, with a very light spiciness from the rye, and maybe also from the bourbon. Medium-high carbonation, and a very full body. Surprisingly, lots of flavor contribution from the small amount of bourbon barrel; and it works remarkably well with the hints of stone fruit. It reminds me of extremely ripened Masumoto peaches, to the point where the fruit starts to ferment in the skin and has a little prickly carbonation. The tartness is restrained. Adding more to the complexity than being the dominant characteristic. As it warms, I get notes of ripe papaya, blood orange peel, black tea, angostura bitters, & clove. It’s complex, and I believe will age well for years.
