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.

Tap. Hazy golden color wuth white head. Aroma is grapefruit indeed, nice fruitiness, yoghurt, oak, a touch parmeggiano. Taste is grapefruit, leather, oak, nice funk. Oily mouthfeel with a bit of a mineraly bite and a natural carbonation. Great!
