Blonde sour aged in oak foeders with added guava.
There's an aura of mystery that occurs when we close the doors to our barrel room. No one can say for sure what happens each night but it's obvious there are spirits [ghosts if you will] working their magic. We're not sure how many inhabit our oak forest. At present there are five large foeders and more than 1200 oak barrels for them to hide in, around, and behind.
To this day, no one has managed to see one during the day but our night time brewers hear whispers and the sensation of unnerving drafts of wind arriving out of thin air. It's as if the ghosts want to be seen or at a minimum acknowledged. After 11 years, we felt it was time to give them their due.

Seriously one of the most solid sours I've had. Guava, mandarin, lime and crackery bretta. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Tangy end but not too sour. Tap at Monks Cafe.
