Introducing Te Aro Brewing's Barrel Aged Boysenberry Saison, a captivating and unique beer that takes the classic saison style to new heights. This brew is a harmonious blend of tart saison yeast, juicy boysenberry notes, and a subtle oakiness from barrel aging. The aroma is a tantalizing mix of fruity and tart, with prominent boysenberry notes complemented by hints of lemon zest, peppercorns, and a touch of oak. The flavor profile is equally intriguing, with a burst of juicy boysenberry that provides a refreshing and tangy sensation. The complex balance of sweet and sour is enhanced by the tartness reminiscent of saison yeast, while notes of lemon and peppercorns add to the acidity. The barrel aging lends a subtle woody character that adds depth and warmth to the overall experience. The mouthfeel is light and effervescent, with a lively carbonation that creates a refreshing and thirst-quenching sensation. The smooth and well-rounded texture leads to a crisp and refreshing finish, with a hint of boysenberry and oak tannins that leave a slightly tart aftertaste, inviting you to take another sip.
