We are excited to announce that Wildflower Good as Gold Blend #6 will be available at our cellar door and online (at 2pm Sydney time) on Friday 6 March 2020.
Good as Gold is a 50/50 blend of barrel aged Gold with fresh Gold that has just completed primary fermentation. This blend is composed of barrels 1708 (27 month old Gold) and 1854 (14 month old Gold) equally blended with the 50th batch of Gold we brewed on 8 November 2019.
Good as Gold Blend #6 has aromas of citrus, stone fruit kernels and stuck match with earthy spice and herbaceous hop notes. The palate is clean and youthful, packed full of citrus zest and pithy bitterness. Delicate and lively.
The base beer is brewed entirely with New South Wales cereals: Single Origin (S.O.) Moree, NSW grown Gairdner ale malt and North Star, NSW grown Spitfire S.O. raw wheat thanks to Provenance Malt. It is made with filtered Sydney water and Motueka (NZ) and Saaz (CZ) hops. Finally, it was fermented with our house culture: brewers yeast, foraged wild yeast and naturally occurring souring bacteria native to New South Wales. It was bottled on 20 November 2019 and naturally conditioned through refermentation for 11 weeks. At bottling it was 5.0% ABV, 25 IBU and 1.0°P (FG= 1.004 SG).
Like all our beers, Good as Gold Blend #6 is best enjoyed when decanted off a settled natural yeast sediment at cellar temperatures (10-12°C).
