Technically, this is neither an ale nor a lager. The base recipe is for a Golden Ale, but we do the primary fermentation with 100% brettanomyces. The brett gives it some sour notes but not as much as if it had been aged with lacto and pedio. It’s rather refreshing on a warm day!

This bear was made with great care. No lacto aroma like a sour. Very malty with some saltiness. A Belgian golden that has been left in the sun.
