This is our third release of Picture Pot, our dry-hopped golden sour. This edition has been made from a blend of four barrels from three brews, produced in January and November 2019. Fermentation took place in Californian Chardonnay and Herefordshire cider barrels using our locally collected house culture of yeast and bacteria.
The blend was dry-hopped with whole cone Loral and Enigma hops. The beer is bottle conditioned, as always, and has been in bottle for six months prior to release.
The resulting beer is intensely aromatic, with round acidity and rolling carbonation. Drink young for fresh hop aromatics and aged for increased brettanomyces funk.

Hazy orange beer, good cream colour head. A few dark bits of detritus at the bottom of the glass. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. A pleasant enough mix of bretty funk and white wine and oak, never tastes that acid until the dry finish when it starts to irritate the back of the throat and that hugely reduces drinkability for me.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Save. Pours lightly hazed orange-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour, some bracing acidity, a little plastic grass, pale wood, light funk. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Tart, quenching finish, more pale wood, citric bite. Enjoyable.

0,15l from bottle shared at Arrogant Sour Festival 2022 by Iznogud, big thanks. Yellow murky color, small white head. Smells herbal, nettle, stone fruits, earthy, hay. Nice to very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes herbal, nettle, earthy, grassy, stone fruits, peppery. Finishes dry and lightly sour with notes of grass, stone fruits and herbal notes. Very good one, on the herbal side
