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.

Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a medium white head that recedes steadily. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Citrus, brett and malt in the nose. Medium body with a moderately tart fruit character and that has some funk behind it. Notes of grapefruit, malt, peaches and yeast. The finish is fruity with tart citrus left behind along with some sweet yeast. Above average overall.
