Mike Beck’s Indy Brew Battle-winning Saison recipe! This is a light colored and delicious Saison beer that is flavorful, and perfect for anytime! White Wheat malt is used to give the base character, and the combination of EKG, Spalt, Tettnang and Mandarina Bavaria lend their hop character to create a quaffable and refreshing beverage. It’s the Time of the Saison!
Featuring Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse Yeast from Omega
This isn't your normal Saison; it's brewed with Omega's OYL-033 Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale yeast which will give this Saison a distinct flavor unlike any other. The yeast comes from the famous Jovaru brewery which has been handed down for generations, since the mid-19th century. With citrusy esters and restrained phenols, expect lemon pith and black pepper character, and a soft mouthfeel. This unique yeast complements all-styles of farmhouse beers, including Saisons. Best of all, this yeast performs well in a broad temperature range (70-95F), and won't give up like SOME Saison strains....(belgian saison, we're looking at you).
