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.

Sampled from tap at 'Be Unorthodox'. Almost clear, pale yellow with a white head. Sweetish, quite fruity, rather funky aroma of gooseberry, elderflower, lemon, hay and some barnyard. Moderately sweet, minimally sourish, quite fruity, gently funky and a bit floral taste of gooseberry, lemon cake, elderflower, some hay and a touch of barnyard, followed by a short, slightly tart, moderately dry, quite funky and gently grassy finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very interesting stuff! Well-balanced, easily drinkable and still fairly complex for such a beer. Well done!

Draught, 4.5% at the Wharf. Quite funky aroma, some old rag, but smells nice enough. Cloudy pale yellow colour. Stable chalk white head. The flavour is quite unclean and fairly lemony. Thin mouthfeel and watery finish. Lingering note of infected kitchen rag. Strangely thin. I usually like funk but this one does not appeal that much to me.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma is yeasty, funky, earthy, grassy and leathery. Pours hazy straw color with medium soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet grainy and slightly tart citrusy, follows biscuity and yeasty, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is light bitter. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Refreshing, but a bit too sessionsble...

Very drinkable farm, nice edge from the gooseberries and a hint of salinity

On tap. Pours slightly hazy yellow golden color, topped with a thinner white head. Nice citrusy aroma with some spicy notes. Spicy start with herbal feeling all over it, a bitt to excessive for my liking. Not bad, but hasn't got that fresh feeling.

On tap at Lajbah, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus zest, saison yeast and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour reveals tart citrus, saison yeast and dry biscuity malt. Lightly tart, lacking much depth. Dry finish, easy drinking overall. Decent.

Lys gul tåkete med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter sitron, hvete og grapefrukt. Smaker noe sur grapefrukt og noe syrlige epler.
