Beer is typically fermented in a very calculated, controlled manner with pure strains of brewers’ yeast. Our award winning lambic beer is instead fermented by exposing it to the untamed yeasts and bacteria that are native to our Brewery. We affectionately call this unrestrained, wild amalgamation our House Funk. This blend is unique to Rivertown and this unusual, spontaneous process, involving over a year of fermentation in oak wine barrels, is what gives this beer its distinctive flavor; dry, funky, vinous, and cidery, with a crisp, sour aftertaste that will continue to develop in the bottle for years to come.

Muddy pale blond color. Very nice aroma: tart, cobwebs, lemon. Lean and dry mouthfeel; lemony flavor, with mild wild character. Astringent mouthfeel, with a sour character.
Really good.

Bottle thanks to soboleg. Pours a cloudy earthy gold with an off-white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has scream nice funk note with some sour fruits and a bit of backing sweetness. Flavor has funk (barnyard) with a bit of sourness that melds with a sweet fruit finish.
