Subterranean Nectaron
A tart, sour flavour from a long fermentation, balanced by bright, fresh stone fruit from the Nectaron dry hop. Subterranean Nectaron is a 5.9% ABV mixed culture saison fermented and aged in oak puncheons in the brewery basement beneath Astoria, with a blend of ten yeast strains. Mosaic, Strata and Wai-iti join it in the hop bill, over Pilsner, white wheat and flaked wheat.
