Wildflower Brewing & Blending - Amongst the Bines

Amongst the Bines is a golden barrel-matured Australian Wild Ale fermented wholly by wild yeast and bacteria residing on an entire organically grown hop bine and freshly picked wet hops from Ryefield Hops in Bemboka, NSW in Februrary 2019. It was aged in barrel for one year and then dry-hopped with a few hops from 2020 before bottling. This is a pretty fun, very experimental beer. At release, Amongst the Bines has aromas of lemon zest, citrus sorbet and herbaceous grassy, earthy hop characters. French oak spice and subtle funk notes add complexity on the back. The palate is full of fresh hop characters, soft vanilla and aged Sauvignon blanc vinous elements. Fresh and lively with a lovely gentle mouthfeel.
