Okay is a honey beer made from a blend of two golden worts produced in April and August 2019.
Fermentation took place in white Burgundy barrels and ex-cider barrels from Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry Company. The beer in the two cider barrels was amazingly soft and full bodied. The beer in the white Burgundy barrels was light and creamy, but with enough acidity to bring balance.
Raw heather honey from Heather Hills Farm in the Scottish Highlands was added just prior to bottling. This provided sugar for conditioning as well as trapping delicate, earthy aromatics in the bottle.

750ml bottle from the brewery and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium golden colour with a big lasting frothy white head. The aroma is funky herbal. The flavour is moderate sour, with a crisp, light, yeasty, dry, citrus, acidic palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Awesome.

Bottle at RBESG GT 2023. Mouth puckering level of sourness. Cleanly lambicy, but also cleanly over the top. Very little else going on besides just the intense barnyard.

Bottle split at L6 Tasting, thanks to the Wingmane, 13/10/22. Hazed orange to golden with a decent just off white head. Nose is lemon rind, pissy oak, funk, hay bale, light menthol notes, dry rot, barnyard. Taste comprises funk, vinous trace, lemon rind, herb, wood must, hedgerow, green berry must, more pissy oak effect. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a sharp but relatively well balanced acidic close. Solid.
