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.

Pale golden colour, dissipating white head. Aroma of wood, white wine, some gooseberry, some tropical fruit. Light sour flavour, white wine, gooseberry, white wine. Bit astringent finish, wood. Nice.

Bottle. A hazy, more or less unclear actually, pale orange colored beer with a finger thick white head. Funky, quite berry-ish aroma with some pale malts in the back. The flavor is pretty much the same, but with a distinct peppery spice touch and a pleasant bitterness. It's rather effervescent on the palate, medium bodied and dry, with a funky, leathery citrus and gooseberry finish. A beer that is more interesting in the beginning than in the end, but still pleasant and quenching. 180210

Bottle. Pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma is light funky, some dough and feels a bit like puke, but not in an unpleasant way! Flavor has these weird ripe fruitiness, acidic berries, hint of lemon and funkyness with minerals. Thin bodied and aftertaste in the same direction. Decent but not exactly my cup of Goose/Saison whatever.
