Merna is a mixed culture ale aged in oak. Brewed with a heavy amount of wheat and gently hopped in order to give the selected yeast and bacteria culture the ability to be fully expressed. Aged for 8 months in selected oak wine barrels, then package conditioned. Pours golden-orange, and has a sweet-tart/funky aroma rounded out by the oak presence. Originally brewed for our brewer Tim Doeschot's wife, we now share the love for all to enjoy!

Great Taste 2017. Opaque gold color. Very little head. Lots of yeast in the aroma, earth, spices and green vegetation. Some sugar and this is lightly sour. Good complexity.

On tap at GTMW 2017. Pours a clear gold with a bit of sediment and white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has tart earthy fruits, oak, grass and a bit of earthy wheat underlying. Flavor has lots of tart fruits, a bit of wine, oak and some wheat backing.

Bottle. Fresh hay, biscuit malt, and orange aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet citrus biscuit malt, moderately sour lactic acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Nice.
