A collaborative brew with Little Earth Brewery.
Little Earth Project is a small and unique brewery in the Suffolk countryside using a variety of sustainable practices to brew small batch, predominantly oak aged wild and sour beers.
Mire was brewed in August 2019 with LEP's homegrown malt. It fermented for sixteen months in cider barrels with both brewer's house cultures. The resulting beer was dry-hopped with whole leaf Goldings before seven months maturation in bottle.

Bottle at Billy's. It pours cloudy deep orangey with a decent off- white head. The aroma is musty, funky, barnyard, granny smith, lemon verbena, sherbet, earthy, liquorice and orange sherbet. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, zingy, orange sherbet, tangerine, kumquat, minerality, puckering, oak, earthy, whisky, musty, granny smith apple and dull alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fun stuff.

Bottle. Mills online. Hazed copper gold. Very decent, lasting white head. Nose has sticking plaster. Dabinett apple. TCP. Wood smoke. Apple pomace. Taste is wheaty and sweet first off, with a dry and acidic tartness. Fairly clean on the palate with foamy carbonation. Drinks easy enough for the 7%. Slightly harsh acidic finish. Little Earth Project character all over this.
