While the name might give the impression the beer was possibly a mistake, or folly, the name actually originates from a road that runs near to the brewery of the same name. We used a new to us yeast in this batch, Saccharomyces Kudriavzevii, which is isolated from the bark of oak trees, alongside our own mixed culture to enhance the woody characteristics along with a stronger bitterness not often found in our beers due to the use of more of our locally grown hops. The beer was then aged for 5 months in a second use Rioja cask to round it out.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced via Premier Hop. Pours mostly clear, deep reddish orange with a small, foamy off-white head that settles quickly into a cream. Has some fairly assertive acidity, nice lemon, dried berries, a little funk, damp wood, salt. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Acetic bite in the finish, some sweat, more salt and citric tartness. Very nice overall.
