Brewed in August 2018, this beer has spent ten months in red wine barrels with different mixed cultures bringing acidity and Brettanomyces complexity to the beer. It was then primed with elderflower syrup, made on site from locally foraged elderflowers. Blend 1 is tart, funky and quenching with flavours of lemon rind, hay and elderflower.

Bottle, by way of a trade with LazyPyro. Cheers Chris. Hazed, pale straw gold. Decent fine white head. Nose has elderflower cordial. Soft, spicy grain. Some woody herb. Light, milky, cheesy funk. Taste has some fruity sweetness, and is a little dry, and a little tart. Light body. Could have a bit more body. Spritzy, fine carbonation. Fruity and lightly tart on the finish. Very refreshing.

Keg at the Taproom. Hazy golden, thin white head. Aroma of elderflower cordial, funk, musty, vinous. Taste is sweet elderflower cordial, mildly funky grape, slightly vinous (red wine isn't as intense as expected), woody, light citrus/lemon, sour, acidity level is ideal for me, not too strong and didn't burn the throat. Medium body. Not usually a fan of much mixed ferm stuff but this is great, especially for their first release, it's so different from their other beers. Looking forward to their future releases.
