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.

Taster during MBCC 2023 Friday morning session shared with Ryan, Matt, Phill, Brian, and Erik. Nice funk and hops here. A bit watery, though.

Bottle pour at MBCC 2023, pours a hazy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out blossom notes, bitterness, and oak. Flavour is bitter and oaky, with lots of bitterness, blossom, spiciness and wild bugs. A bit too spicy but the blend is nice. Very good.

Bottle at MBCC 2023, Yellow session. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeast and herbs. The flavour is moderate sour, with a fresh, crisp, light funky, big herbal palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. The herb’s dominated but no complaints from me.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Cloudy yellow-orange. Lots of sage, barnyard, oak, fruitiness, citrus, sour with some bitterness. Great.
