Artist Series release no. 13 features work from South Aussie legend, Wendy Dixon-Whiley. The piece was inspired by her epic Rosina Street Mural, which she completed last November in partnership with the Adelaide Fringe and Pirate Life.

The beer, a 6.5% barrel-aged saison, spent just over four months on Ex-Sparkling wine casks – their oakiness pairing beautifully with the characterful farmhouse yeast and stone fruit additions.

Prior to packaging, the aromatic liquid went through a secondary ferment, eliminating some of the more unruly volatiles accrued during its time on wood. And things are looking pretty schmick…

It pours sunny orange, with a wave of brisk bubbles. Expect aromas of spiced peach and scrumpy cider – highlighted further by the Enigma and Nectaron hops. The palate is wild and fresh, showing crunchy nectarine, fine tartness, and a lick of cinnamon late.
