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.

Bottle, 75 cl. It’s a lightly unclear golden colored beer with a finger thick white head. Lacing. Citrus, pine cones, pale malts, some funk and peppery notes in the aroma. It’s full bodied and soft on the palate with a nice bitterness. Some greiat notes, but mostly citrusy, piney hops in the flavor. Pale malts and a wee pepper touch in the back. Long finish. Overall, a tad yeasty, but sure nice. 160102

Sampled at a tasting. Hazy yellow pour with a thin white head. Smells like lemons, brett and bubble gum. The taste is quite brett forward, with notes of bubble gum and grapefruit. Rough mouthfeel, high carbonation and bitter aftertaste.
