Farmhouse Pale + Gooseberry + Zingy
We thought we would be able to make this beer exactly how we wanted...
The "all-day" wild beer, tart and fruity, but well-hopped and drinkable. We have been chasing this beer since we started the brewery and love this combination.
Juicy, tart gooseberries and out own culture of wild yeast from local orchards give this a gentle acidity. Whilst a generous "dry-hop" of complementary hops enhance the fruitiness and give a light but moreish bitterness.

Bottled. Slightly hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, flora yeasty and some mild toffeeish tones. Flavour is fruity, mild yeast, some funk, grains and some herbal notes. Refreshing.

330 ml bottle. Pours a bright gold with light head. Aromas of old fruity Brett, green berries, citrus and bready malts. Weak flavours of gooseberries, lemons and wheat crackers. May be an old bottle…

Tap at Unorthodox Bar. Very well balanced fruity resiny holpiness and spicy farmhouse character. Rather thin body and high carbonation. Fresh herbal minty feeling. Very tasty, easy drinking, refreshing. Very good.
