The brewers at the Wild Beer Co. love nothing better than Belgian-style saison, but with this blissful version they’ve added their own Wild interpretation of the style by adding a dash of funky Brettanomyces yeast plus roasted apricots and a hush-hush blend of spices.
All of this makes for an extraordinary beer with an array of aromas that leap out of the glass followed by a spicy, fruity, tart and peppery palate and a long lingering finish.
Bliss can be drunk fresh or left to age when it becomes drier and more complex as the Brett (the yeast, not their brewer!) gets to work in the bottle. This is the sort of beer where study and contemplation is essential, or if you’re hungry why not try it with chicken jalfrezi or lamb tagine.
50kg of roasted apricots went into the boil with more added to the fermentor as well as their blend of spices.
