Raspberry Saison Bottling Day
With apologies for the overly dramatic header photograph, Happy New Year! Here's to many wonderful beers in 2016.
We have finally gotten over the holiday festivities, and yesterday we bottled the batch of raspberry saison we had sitting in secondary. An early taste is promising, with a fairly assertive berry presence and decent tartness. A little bit of cough syrup character at the moment (not dissimilar to berry beers I've had in the past), but we'll see how it tastes after carbonation. If nothing else, the colour of the beer has turned out superb!
Now that we have a free fermenter, what's next? A stout perhaps, or another saison?
