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. Color: Pale golf, fast disappearing white head. Taste: Starting medium sour with sweet notes, hints of yeast, fruity. After a short moment the taste is almost gone at once and the beer gets very watery, with an unpleasant mouthfeel. Below medium body and carbonation. Nice try, but could have more body in my opinion.

On tap @ Bergen Craft Beer Fest. Pours hazy yellowy white, with a finger thick creamy head. Aroma is lactic acid, with citrusy notes of lemon peel, as well as hay and some grassy notes. Medium body, with average carbonation. Flavour is tart citrusy notes of lemon drops, sour candy and lactic acid, as well as some grassy notes.

Bottle from Booths, Media City. Straw coloured with a small head and a carbonation. Clearly going to be sour in its aroma, strikingly so in taste. It’s certainly a slow sipper with a wine-like character.
