Orvyn Pine Hill 2024

« Inspired by traditional Belgian-style Ales, Orvyn is the richer, more sophisticated end of the Malt Donkey range. Brewed using a specialized saison yeast that demands patience and precision. Rich amber in color with a creamy, full mouthfeel of savoury flavours. The finish is long, clean and lifted. Built for the table and made for rich food, this ale is best shared among great company. Soil: The 2023/24 vintage was a challenging one at Pine Hill. Generous June rains (123.6mm) built moisture; late December rains (95.7mm) hit fortunately after the harvest. The early season moisture was retained in large part due to the unique self mulching soil profile, meaning that the grain was able to bridge the dry mid season. These grains carry Pine Hill’s heavy black-clay minerality into the glass with long, persistent intensity. End: Medium amber with rye bread, spiced cocoa and lemon zest on the leading nose into a soft creamy palate of chocolate dust, earth and cloves with a long clean finish. » – Malt Donkey Style / Variety: Belgian AleRegion: Woodside, SAABV: 8.5%Vol: 750ml
