Adding cultures of Brettanomyces, Pedicoccus and Lactobacillus at set points let us sour the beer gradually over many months and give layers of flavour that can only be developed over time. The fruit aroma and flavours compliment the sharp sourness which subsides for more malt and yeast character to come through. The resulting beer is a clean, zingy and intense blend of fruity tartness with intimations of crisp Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

Found at the back of a shelf in the bar at home & 18 months past BBD. Tart, earthy & gooseberry aroma. Medium bodied, extremely dry & clean. Taste is similar to aroma with gooseberry, earthy, white wine & veast tastes & a tart finish. Surprisingly good.

Bottled@Littlepub, Vaasa. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is funk, some fruits, vinegar, mild yeast as well as some herbs. Flavour is herbs, mild sour wood, some lemon and yeasty tones. Somewhat watery, quite bland in the end.
