An incredibly unusual beer made in collaboration with three brewers
A collaboration of three brewers, three nationalities and six ideas brought together to learn, experiment and enjoy. Made by Kelly Ryan from Good George Beer in NZ, Brett Ellis (originally from the US) from the Wild Beer Co, and Mark Tranter from Burning Sky Brewery. This beer explores new ideas, techniques, ingredients, combinations and processes.
Using all three brewers combined knowledge and experiences to create an incredibly unusual and complex beer, this utilises every opportunity to take advantage of amazing ingredients and try alternative techniques.
Somerset Sharpham Park Spelt has been used for a full body. Pink peppercorns give a gentle sweet spiciness. Saison and Brettanomyces yeast strains lead to a dry spicy character that will continue to evolve. Wood-ageing in French red wine barrels for 4 months adds depth and oak. Passion-fruit brings a tart tropical fruit character. The 4 month ageing process has been finished off with amazingly tangy Hibiscus flowers. That is one shnoodlepippin beer!

Keg @ Marble Beerhouse, Chorlton-Cum-Hardy. Hazy deeper-orange coloured with next to no head. A sour ale, but is fused with dry grain-like flavours which subdue its style. Has a similar effect with its aroma.

33cl partagée avec Pierre T. Orangée léger trouble, col fin blanc crémeux. Le tout verse cependant dans un côté huileux filandreux. Arôme est très plaisant avec un marquage montrant ce mariage entre le fruit de la passion, fleur d’hibiscus bien en évidence et un rétro fleuri ponctué par ce léger bouquet poivré. Retrouve aussi la levure de signature de Wild Beer. Palais est épais avec ici aussi un côté filandreux qui se ressent fortement et enlève un peu du charme de la bière. Retrouve ce fleuri agréable surtout au niveau hibiscus, le poivré perce également un peu plus et se retrouve en balance avec le fruité tropical distinct de fruit de la passion. Fin demeure cependant sur une fine aigreur. Sans ce problème de teneur en bouche le score aurait été plus haut.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head after some initial frothy bubbles. The aroma is acid citrus sour. The flavour is moderate sour with a smooth, light acid, rich passion fruit, dry, light spice palate. Light to moderate bodied with lively carbonation. Nicely balanced and great with food.

Bottle from ’Jacks’, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home, Sunday 28th December 2014 A chill haze (served straight from fridge).filmy head, pretty good clarity, mid, warm gold. Wonderfully tart and zappy, unfortunately I have just been picking and adding fresh thyme to my shepherds pie so my hands are rather reeking of thyme, so the pink peppercorns, hibiscus etc are somewhat tamed, no worries we’ll get what we can. I can after a while get a hint of peppery spice on nose and this tingles the tongue also and there is a light raspberry like zappiness to this. Its lovely. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle. Pours hazy golden, with a finger thick creamy head. Aroma is tart and peppery fruity, red currants, strawberries and some tropical fruity notes, as well as some funky brett, wooden barrels and red wine. Full body with an almost creamy texture, with average carbonation. Flavour is tart fruity yeast and sour berries, with woody brett and balsamic vinegar. Short finish with sour fruits.

Bottle @ The Font, Manchester [291004]
Light pink orange, hazy, thin off white head
Aroma of soft citrus fruits, red wine barrel, soft tart, light pepper, strange aroma, slight vegetal (not in a bad way)
Taste of soft vitrus, soft red wine, woody, bit vegetal spicy, quite tart, floral. unusual mishmash of flavour, spicy, peppery, yeah it’s quite f*cked up
Palate - Medium carb and body, quite tart and tangy, fairly acidic, alcohol is prominent though. Finish as main flavour
Overall - Interesting beer worth trying

330ml Bottle - Amber red in colour. Fruity and vinous aroma with notes of wine, some musty hints, wood and dried fruit. Sharp and fruity taste with sultanas, raisins, caramel, wood, pepper and some very subtle tropical fruit notes. There’s a lot going on in this beer and it’s quite complex, yet fairly easy to drink.
