Texas Honey Saison Aged in Chardonnay Barrels with Peaches, Apricots, and Brettanomyces Bishop’s Barrel No. 22 is our Icon Gold - Texas Honey Saison aged in Chardonnay barrels with peaches and apricots. During the brewing process, approximately 800 lb of Texas wildflower honey was added to the boil. After fermenting with French Saison yeast to a bone dry finish, we added 1700 lb of peach and 900 lb of apricot puree along with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, a yeast commonly found in spontaneous fermentation. Finally the beer was matured in a mixture of wines barrels that previously held BB19 and freshly emptied California Chardonnay barrels for 12 months. BB22 is a tart, yet balanced saison, with up front notes of baked bread, stone fruit, and subtle accents of oak, white wine, coconut, funk and kiwi.
