Bottled 09-11-13. This beer is very unique and inspired by breweries in the Lambic region of Belgium and, especially, our friends at Cantillon. It is 100% spontaneously fermented, meaning yeast is not added. Once the beer is brewed, it is transferred to a cool-ship or “horny” tank located in our barrel room at the pub. There it sits overnight and collects whatever funky wild yeast and bacteria may be living in the room. The next day it is transferred to oak wine barrels where it ferments wildly and ages for a few months. The end result is a wild, spontaneously fermented, sour, and tasty hand-crafted beer!

9/IV/20 - 37.5cl bottle from a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a, bottled: IX/11/13 (2020-315) Thanks to whomever got me this bottle, been saving it for years.
Slightly cloudy peach orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: bit oxidized, fruity, nice and complex, lots of ripe purple plums, wood notes, cellar, musk, mold. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very acidic start, bright tartness, lots of citric acid, dry, bit dusty, more lemon juice notes. Aftertaste: dry, bit musty, stale, soft oxidation, bitter touch, tannins, wood notes, spicy touch, dry and astringent finish, nice but a little too old alas. Don’t keep this beer too long!
