Bubbles + Apples + Wild Yeast
Named after the ancient Sumerian goddess of beer, this is an equally divine Belgian-style saison with a copious amount of New Zealand hops, freshly harvested Somerset apple juice and wild yeast added to the mix. However, we like to take things just that bit further (it’s the Wild way!) — once bottled the beer undergoes a secondary fermentation with champagne yeast, giving it a brisk spritziness on the tongue. Serve chilled in a champagne flute to allow the bouquet of playfully aromatic notes to be fully appreciated. Take a sip to enjoy a further cascade of striking and sensuous flavours alongside the carefree champagne-like spritziness. The long, dry finish is both refreshing and complex.

Pure white fluffy head stayed all the way on highly carbonated light golden body. Vinous aroma of sour apple & yeast. Medium to thin bodied, very soft on the palate with an effervescent clean dry finish - a bit like champagne! Sweet & sour tastes of apple, yeast & spice with a long tangy finish.

At a tasting, medium slightly gushing bubbly head, a touch hazy and a bit intense yellow color, aroma of wood, spice, grain and roots, flavor of lemon, candy and a light bready maltiness behind, lighjtish but noticable bitternss, light sourness, very nicely mellow. Really nice and highly enjoyable, suprising.

Sampled from tap at BPBW 2018. Slightly hazy, straw yellow with a large, white head. Sweetish, fruity-grassy and slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of lemon peel, hay and some pineapple. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-grassy and slightly yeasty-spicy taste of pineapple, lemon peel, some clove and a touch of hay, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly yeasty-spicy and a bit grassy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good!
