Wildflower Brewing & Blending - Keen As Mustard

Keen as Mustard is a five-grain oak fermented ale aimed at showcasing some of the more primary fermentation characteristics of our house culture. It was brewed on March 14th, 2018 and made of entirely single origin NSW barley, emmer, rye, spelt and wheat. Emmer is an ancient wheat that we used ourselves for the first time in this beer. It lends a beautiful herbal spice element to aromatics of Keen as. The beer was hopped with NSW grown Hallertau and Fuggle hops from Bemboka, NSW. It underwent a primary fermentation in six French oak barriques for one month and before undergoing a three month tertiary fermentation and conditioning in bottle and keg before release. It was packaged on 18 April 2018 and allowed to mature for 3 months in bottle and keg before release. At packaging it was 5.0% ABV and 1.5 P (1.006 SG).
