ABV: 9.0%
Style: Golden Ale
Description: This beer was conceptualized around a very interesting wild strain of Saccharomyces yeast that produces huge pineapple and candied orange peel aromas and flavors, without developing much acidity. Wanting to cultivate that profile, we started off with a base of barley and wheat, and added 120lbs of orange blossom honey and 80lbs of mandarin zest right into the boil. During a vigorous fermentation, we added 40 gallons of fresh orange juice. Finishing at 9% there is a Belgian strong ale quality to it with a slight funk, but the citrus quality dominates. Over time and with conditioning, this yeast will develop some added funk and slight sourness, without getting too acidic.
