Spontaneously Fermenting Yeast + Pale + Sour
Fermented with a locally harvested culture of yeasts and bacteria from the orchards that Somerset is famous for.
The wet climate of Somerset is perfect for the orchards and pastures that are the lifeblood of our area, they are also perfect conditions for the yeasts, bugs and critters that we need to make a unique sour beer.
Somerset Wild is a beer that shows how much we love working with our environment and the seasons to produce idiosyncratic beers that leave you questioning your perceptions. A beer with the acidity levels of a white wine or farmhouse cider, with a depth, complexity and refreshing drinkability to it that makes it a wonderful beer to pair with food.
This is a magic beer to enjoy with fish, particularly oily fish such as mackerel or sardines, caught off the south-west coast, or even better why not try it with a ceviche. The acidity of the beer will work as the perfect accompaniment.

Bit boring, not funky sour enough, not much to comment on. Cider like, bit twiggy. Light fruit, light everything.

On tap @ Ghetto Something. Aroma of funky yeast, citrus, wine, cucumber and sauerkraut. Pours cloudy straw color with medium sized creamy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sour citrusy, vinous and funky, while follows by tart apple and sweet honeyish and lactic note. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Brexit Berliner...
