A mixed culture solera style beer gently hopped with Motueka and fermented in red wine barrels creating layers of flavour and enabling it to take on the funky farmhouse tones, after years maturing, this beer is thirst quenchingly dry with lemony tart flavours. The first edition of this beer was created in November 2014.

375ml bottle from Spar Troutbeck Bridge, Windermere. Drunk at our pod behind the Brown Horse Inn, Winster. Promised myself I'd not drink another Hawkshead again but in the words of Doc Brown, what the hell. Pours a misty golden yellow, white head, gentle carb. Has the definite feel of a pitched mixed culture beer rather than a natural wild fermentation. Sweet, mellow acetic vinegar.. ok.

Bottle from Beer Moth. It pours clear gold with a decent white head. The nose is earthy, brett, orange sherbet, Irn Bru, spice, funk, wheat, hay and bread. The taste is quite light...bitter, funky, earthy brett, straw, hay, spice, dirt, pretty, straw, damp mouldiness, lemon rind and must with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice aroma, but taste is a touch light and dirty. Underwhelming if truth be told.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of funky yeast, honey, foam banana sweets, coriander, porridge oats and a hint of white pepper. Flavour of tart lemon, bread, herbs and minerals. Thin body with a light, oily texture. Soft fizz. From an excellent brewery, a really interesting beer - it’s like a Hefeweizen-Saison-Witbier blend.

On tap at What’s Brewing. An unclear, orange-colored beer with a small, white head. The aroma is fruity, with banana notes. Oranges, wheat, a herbal touch and some yeast. It’s dry and full-bodied on the palate, pleasantly carbonated and with a citrus peel kind of bitterness. Rather fruity. Lasting finish. A refreshing and quenching beer, but even the brett couldn’t make me excited. Perhaps it didn’t have enough time on the brett until it was released. 141031
