Permutation Series #2: Motueka Dry hopped spelt grisette pale ale
Permutation is our experimental series of small batch offerings, showcasing the unique visions and innovative concepts developed by our brewing and cellar crew.
For this second edition, we present a delicate and refreshing dry-hopped grisette pale ale; a light bodied, dry, highly aromatic farmhouse beer with a slight brett funk. The grist consists largely of pilsner and dinkel wheat (spelt) as a base with a touch of rye malt for some spicy character. Citrusy hop-driven aromas of lemon and lime take the lead with similar flavors following through on the palate. Initial fermentation duties carried out by a characterful saison yeast, followed by further innoculation with a fruity brettanomyces strain to add complexity and balance.
