Description

Dive into the captivating world of North End Brewing's Salt and Wood Saison de Terroir, a sour/wild beer that celebrates the flavors of Waiheke Island, New Zealand. This farmhouse-style saison ale is a harmonious blend of floral, earthy, and spicy notes, with a touch of citrus zest and sea salt that evokes the island's maritime environment. Pouring a hazy golden hue with a fine and persistent white head, this beer offers an intensely complex aroma that transports you to the coastal and rural landscapes of Waiheke. Elderflower, honeysuckle, hay, oak, and freshly cracked peppercorns mingle with hints of lemon zest, creating a refreshing and invigorating experience. On the palate, the beer delivers a lively and complex medley of flavors. A burst of citrus and stone fruit seamlessly blends with earthy, spicy, and mineral notes, while the saison yeast contributes a characteristic farmhouse tang, complemented by a subtle hint of oak. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a lingering saltiness that pays homage to the island's maritime environment. With a medium-bodied mouthfeel and a lively carbonation that dances on the tongue, this beer offers a smooth and creamy texture with a pleasant dryness in the finish. North End Brewing's Salt and Wood Saison de Terroir is a truly exceptional beer that captures the essence of Waiheke Island's unique terroir, making it a perfect choice for any occasion where you seek a complex and approachable brew.
