Sprong is a blend of wild ales, aged in oak puncheons (500L) for around 2.5 years, and a barrel fermented and aged saison type of beer. This saison was fermented in a large oak vessel and later transferred to oak barriques (225L) for another 6 months. Prior to blending the two parts together, the saison was slightly dryhopped for another 3 months. We've added a touch of Sicilian sage to the final blend to macerate a few days before bottling.

Flaska från Tommie Sjef. Mörkorange, disig, liten vit krona. Något djupare syrlighet, mycket citrus, apelsin, citrusskal. Oerhört örtigt och blommigt från salvian, nästan lite ingefära-toner, lätt pepprighet och kryddighet, nejlika. Verkligen rolig och snygg kompabilitet mellan den citrusstinna grundlönen och salvian. Mycket gott.

Bottle directly from brewery. Color: Hqzy orange golden, thin white head. Aroma: Tart, herbal, fruity notes, oak. Taste: Moderate tart, light to moderate sweet and hopbitter, herbal notes of sage, mediterranean herbs, subtle fruity citrus, berries and peach hints, straw, some farm-like wild yeast funk and oak wood. Dry mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. Very well balanced, nice complexity. Delicious.
Edit july 7th 2026: Still quite a lot of sage, herbs. Still nice. (Photo)
