Legendary for their alternative fermentations and unorthodox yeasts, we’ve always been so impressed at the uniqueness, personality and creativity of Wild Beer Co brews.
This is the first time we’ve brewed a DIPA, so this collaboration was an opportunity to brew and experiment outside of our normal beer styles, influenced by Wild Beer Co’s skills and expertise, using an unusual, hybrid Kudriavzevii strain in our brew. There’s a gentle spicy Belgian yeast character in the beer, with lush stone-fruit flavours of apricot, peach and mango.

Keg @ Wild Beer Wapping Wharf, Bristol. Pours hazy golden orange, small white topping. Aroma of tinned fruit, ripe citrus. Taste continues with fairly sweet ripe exotics, lemon, gentle stone-fruit, a touch zesty, with a light bitterness. Went down well on this hot Bristol afternoon.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the London Brewers' Market. Pours clear honey-gold with a staunch, frothy off-white head. Semi-ripe citrus in the nose, melon, spicy pine. Medium to big sweet flavour with rich bready malts, some sponge cake, ripe orange, oily pine, melon, white grape. Full bodied, chewy, with fine, massaging carbonation. Warming finish, somewhat sticky sweet, nips of kiwi, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, more rich bready pale malts, peach, ripe citrus, mild piney bitterness, some gummy candies. Pretty full-on. Interesting stuff but I wouldn't want to drink a lot of it.

Can from WBB Clapham Junction. It pour lightly hazy orange with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, tangy orange, marmalade, kumquat, peach, bit of grass and spice. The taste is dry, decent hit of bitterness, pithy, zesty, orange, tangerine, tangy marmalade dominates, spice, grass, straw and some raw alcohol through the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps lacking a bit of body, so the alcohol cones through like Cointreau. Decent anyhow.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, nice light sweetness. Smooth cooling pine balanced well with a good savoury orange. Little blood orange and mild bitterness. Nice light and mildly ripe tropical fruits on the slighty spicy finish. Well joined up and very drinkable.

I felt this was released too young.
