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.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Thanks zvsn & rayaron. Pale golden, white wine-like color. Farty, pickled vegetables, dill pickles, apples, tart and a bit sweetish. Weird.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with next to no head. The aroma has notes of lemons, lacto, and straw. The flavor is sour with notes of lemons, pears, lacto, and straw, leading to a tart finish.
