Wild in character, a complex ale with dried fruit and clove aromas, and a satisfying dry finish. Inspired by great Trappist ales, our complex Belgian Style Pale Ale is fermented with the wild yeast Brettanomyces. Matilda pours a golden sunrise color with dried fruit and clove aromas, a spicy yeast flavor, and a satisfying dry finish.

Bottle with 2013 on the label. Golden with a thick frothy head. Has lots of character that certainly hides its strength, with plenty of yeasts, pale malts, hints of fruit - very Belgian in style and very good.

765ml bottle. Vintage 2015. Pours a hazy orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Spicy aroma of coriander, clove, yeast, caramel malt, fruit and a light brettish note. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, peach, orange, apricot and yeast with a spicy, dry, mildly bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, oily texture and soft carbonation. A fairly complex brew. Nice.
