Unique Aspect
Saisons historically hit one of two broad categories; sour or hoppy. Either of these options for a saison will increase the longevity of the beer as hops have antimicrobial properties whilst increased acidity does the same job. With ‘Wild Goose Chase’ we felt we were searching for just that, an everyday sour that excites your palate without becoming taxing. The gooseberries added provide this refreshing.
Food Pairings
Tartness and carbonation both make ‘Wild Goose Chase’ a great beer for cutting through fat and richness. The gooseberries will compliment light salads, white meat and fish dishes while contrasting anything sweet. A surprisingly robust beer when it comes to pairings you can throw some heavier flavours at it due to that great tart, cutting power. Bloomy rinded and fluffy goats cheeses play great with this beer as well.
