Nikolai

Presenting batch two of Nikolai, our collaboration with Otherlands Beer (@otherlandsbeer)!
 
Nikolai is a light hoppy saison with a blend of Saaz, Tettnanger, and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh at 3.5 lbs per barrel, creating expressive notes of floral, spice, and a lingering soft bitterness. Fermented with Otherland’s house lager yeast and finished with our house saison culture of feral and wild yeasts, Nikolai fuses Otherland’s fruity lager yeast, floral hops and the Meyer lemon profile from our yeast.

This batch drinks clean, light and bright with notes of ripe lemons, melons and rhubarb. Nikolai is refreshing and vertical – perfect for these warmer days!

Inspired by our favorite hoppy Belgian beers, we designed this table saison utilizing 100% pilsen malt from LINC Malt (@lincmalt) and European hops as an homage to the Wallonian saisons that both Fair Isle and Otherlands aspire to. 

This is an everyday table beer (4.5% abv) aimed to be enjoyed fresh and best purchased by the pint.
