We love the fresh fermentation esters and bright hop character we get in our young fermentations. This is what we focus on in beers like The International & As It Were (coming in November). But we can't hide that we also love the apparent funk, creamy mouthfeel and complex fermentation flavours of aged beer. We dont think of this blend as being a best of both worlds, but more an attempt (and this is only the first one) to marry these flavours harmoniously. One of the beers that really got me thinking about making mixed culture beers at all was BFM √225. It was the first biere de coupage I tasted and still remains a little bit of a mountain for me. Good as Gold may be made in the same fashion as and with a lot of inspiration from √225 but has a distinctively Wildflower feel.

Tap at Amager Bryghus. Clear light golden. Pretty, funky, sour. Front heavy, fizzy, then oily. A nice sour, with funky notes. Not undrinkable.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Blend #12. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Lovely beer, light-medium sweet flavour, salty bite, subtle funk, melon, lemon, peach, white grape, pale wood accents, a little honey, grass clippings. Light bodied with delicate, small bubble carbonation. Clean finish, lightly drying, more lemony bite, salt, a nip of acetic sweat. Massively drinkable. Great beer.

Flavour is brett, some dry wooden tones, mild floral and fruity tones. Smooth and pleasantly tart//sour finish.
