Tasting Notes

The brightly effervescent brew begins with a subtly resinous aroma from a month of dry-hopping with Goschie Farms Cascade Hops, before giving way to subtly nuanced layers of fruit. Hints of citrus, apricot, and pineapple mingle with oakiness from aging in wine and brandy barrels. On the finish, herbaceous nuances of pine mingle with mature bretty funk and bold acidity from local, wild yeasts.

Expect a sour yet crunchy note coming in this ale.

Top notch wild ale. Reminded me a cross between barrel aged Russian River Valley brew and somethingI’ve had at the Bruery.

Only thing holding back from buying all of these is the steep price. This is delicious though

375 ml corked and crowned bottle from Tavour. Bottled on July 23, 2021. Pours a cloudy, amber orange color. Small, creamy beige head. Aromas of oak, funk, yeast, citrus and white grapes. First sip is tart and funky. Notes of white wine, earthy malt, lemon rind, oak, apricots, vinegar and sour apple.
