The Kernel say...

"Our mixed culture fermentation saison contains two or three strains of commercial saison yeast, along with various wild and commercial yeast and bacteria: we’ve isolated brettanomyces strains from our barrels; we have grown up wild yeast collected from local fruit; we have blended in dregs from bottles of mixed fermentation beers that we have enjoyed; and we have added commercially available brettanomyces strains, 3 lactobacillus strains, and some pediococcus. Once the saison yeast’s initial fermentation has run its course, the beer undergoes a long secondary fermentation/conditioning phase as the wild yeast and bacteria start to make their impression. 

The initial result is fresh, tart, lively and sometimes citric. It has a dry finish, a spritz of carbonation, the distinctive spiciness of the saison yeast, and a touch of lemon, grass and herbs, with a cleansing and slightly sour tang. As the beer ages, the brettanomyces adds more spices, fruits, a touch of horse and leather. 

Some of this Biere de Saison becomes the base beer that we either blend and ferment or age in oak barrels or foeder. The beer has been re-fermented with damsons."

Testimonials

I've loved getting the Beer Box Set Club every month, it's been great to sample an array of beers that I just wouldn't see/consider normally. And it's been great to help support smaller breweries in these difficult times. The tasting notes are also a great addition, helping me improve my beer knowledge and learning more about the breweries.

The Box Sets are great. Always a good selection, with a variety of strengths and styles. The tasting notes are well pitched. Something to look forward to every month!

It's like a boozy lucky dip where you win every time. Classic styles from some well-known brewers, the occasional curve ball or two and, every so often, something totally weird and always wonderful. There's always a great mix between stuff I'd definitely buy, stuff I'd definitely try and stuff I wouldn't usually but I'm so glad I did.

If you want a good variety of beers every month from amazing small brewers look no further! G&G beer dealers extraordinaire know their stuff and there is always something from someone you have not tried before. I enjoy everything I get each month.

I've been subscribed to the Beer No Evil subscription for a few months, and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys experiencing new beers. The tasting notes are spot on. I like that I get to try lots of different beers that I wouldn’t normally choose in a bottle shop - every beer is enjoyable and worth trying - exactly the point of the subscription.
