A blend of 3 year old 100% spontaneously fermented beer with Texas grapefruit.
100% spontaneously fermented beer inspired by authentic Belgian Lambic & Gueuze. We chill the unfermented beer overnight in our coolship and allow native yeast to work its magic. A true reflection of Texas terroir.
On a cold winter night three years ago, we juiced and zested fresh grapefruit and added them to the coolship as it filled. We then let the beer slowly mature for three years before blending and bottle conditioning.

2018 bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of white spritzy foam that dissipates. Oak, white grapefruit and lemon zest aromas with some funk, hay and leather aromas as it warms. Big white grapefruit and iyokan pith on the palate with a dried, funky undertone. Horseblanket, cobwebs and a bit of musty hay as it warms. Tart and a vinegar acidic note underneath as well.

Bottle pours out golden topped with a small white head. Nose is grape fruit citrus forward plenty on funky tart notes. Taste is more of the nice tart funky notes and a citrus grape fruit kick.
