This is our yarrow ale brewed, fermented with mixed culture, and conditioned in puncheons. Yarrow is one of my oldest collaborators; a spindly plant with resinous flowers containing euphoric aromas. Yarrow is plentiful in sandy soils and roadsides. I gathered this near where I live, in Craftsbury. The name is inspired both by folk arts, embellishing the objects of our everyday lives, and birds, often used in art as representing the spirit.

375ml (thx, Eric D.!) on Brian's deck. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: tons of botanicals, sweetness, some malts. Taste: oh, damn, along the same lines, soapy. Overall: meh.

Hazy, pale. Thin head. The yarrow is pretty pronounced, and there's barrel and brett. Tart, bretty, lots of yarrow, finishes dry, and it ends up having a pretty nice complexity. So a yarrow-forward gruit, more or less?

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral notes, wild yeast, and a little oak. Flavour is quite herbal, with wild yeast, oak, and herbal notes. Quite floral and wild. Good stuff.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the brewery. Pours clear orange-gold (getting a little hazy late pour) with a soft, foamy white head. Lots of lemony tartness, orange peel, mild funk, cracked grains, sturdy acidity. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Quenching finish, more citric bite, oily peel, a little yeast, mild bitter hay. Good fun.
