and a whisper of cardamom for layered sweetness

Twelve year old Citra hops were add during a long boil

we knew to stop there

Marshmallows were our finishing touch

Balance Brewing & Blending Birthday Blend 2025 Style_Cider and notes of red wineThis blend, created by everyone that came to the blending session on our birthday weekend in June 2025, is a complex amalgamation of five barrels which used a high proportion of amber saison. This has brought nuanced layers of complexity comprising subtle golden syrup and bready malt as a counterpoint to the acidity and funky aged hop character and earthy minerality. It finishes with orange pith, soft bitterness and fruity funk.
