Wildflower Brewing & Blending - St Henry 2018

ST HENRY is an Australian Wild Ale refermented with apricots. It is named for Chris and his wife's second son and released around Henry’s birthday. The Saint Henry II was a Holy Roman Emperor during the 11th century. In 2018, the beer was made from golden mixed fermentation, barrel aged beer that was racked onto 230kg of fresh, tree ripened Moongold apricots from Thornbrook Orchard in Orange, NSW. The two were left in contact together for 10 weeks allow for near-complete fermentation by cultures both off the skins of the apricots as well as those still alive in the beer at racking. It was packaged on 2 March.
