We are always trying to match interesting flavours, both local and sourced from around the world. Sorachi Ace hops split opinion with their big bold flavours. Lemon, coconut and a big herbal hit, what could we match that with? We already thought that the funky fruity nature of the Brettanomyces in our mixed culture might complement these potent hops but where unsure of how to bring it all together. When walking to the brewery one spring morning we smelt the strong whiff of resinous Rosemary. With our neighbours kind permission we picked several hundred grams of leaves from the rather overgrown plant to add to a beer we thought would stand up to and complement this strong flavour.

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Rosemary is strong, lemon too. Not getting much of the coconut I usually get with sorachi. Funky taste, Brett, lemon, rosemary a bit much.

Bottle picked up from Beer Gonzo Webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry consumed at Mini Camping Groene Donk, Den Dungen, nr Den Bosch, Netherlands, Wednesday 27th September 2017 Hazy yellow with very little carbonation, just a little buzz of tiny bubbles. This is a lovely beer, funky, herby, woody, and yet still with a surprising freshness about it. The rosemary is quite robust and works well with the sorachi but just a touch more carbonation to give this a little prickle would go down well. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.5
