Uphill by green pastures, and soft bleating goats, where tractors rumble by with a farmer's wave, on their slow journey to a farmhouse near.
Process & tasting notes: A Farmhouse Near is a bière de coupage of aged saison transferred onto Nelson Sauvin hops and a small portion of fresh saison.
This blend of pale-straw saison pours with a lively carbonation and aroma of lemon oil, late-harvest Sauvignon Blanc grapes, and fresh cut flowers. On the palate, A Farmhouse Near displays herbaceous lemon and white grape notes, and finishes with a delicate vanilla-oak and cleansing hop flavour.
A Farmhouse Near is a succinct expression of our twin-love of New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin hops and barrel-aged mixed-fermentation saison.
Serving suggestions: We recommend rousing the yeast and serving in our tumbler glass.
