2016 SPON flor represents a curious case in our spontaneous fermentation program. The "flor" found in our sherry barrels migrated to some adjacent barrels containing 100% spontaneously fermented beer and impacted the fermentation. The result is a unique testament to the unpredictable and resilient nature of microorganisms.
2016 SPON flor was brewed in early 2014 using a turbid mash of 60% malted barley and 40% raw wheat, boiled for four hours with aged hops, cooled and innoculated overnight in our coolship with naturally occurring yeast and bacteria. 100% spontaneously fermented in oak barrels (no yeast or bacteria pitched), blended across the same vintage, and naturally conditioned for months in bottles resting on their side.
Bottled on February 15, 2016.

Skrzyzowanie chloru z basenu, skory i czipsow seriwych. W smaku kwaskowate tylko, jakby lekko slonawe... ciekawistka. Zero octu. Takie 3.7?
