‘brunch.’ – (you read that correctly, both lowercase and punctuated) is a Canadian take on a more traditional style: the framboise sour. Undeniably raspberry, but with a competing glow of Brettanomyces funk consistent with our blends. It is worth noting how the baseline acidity that is a product of microbial activity, conspires with the acids naturally present in the raspberries, to further increase the total acidity of the blend while maintaining a less aggressive and more balanced overall profile. In addition to the heavy raspberry charge, is a mostly silent, yet substantial fruit contribution of peach added not for its impact to the flavour profile, but for its contribution to the overall mouthfeel. At 7.6% ABV, this blend is a fermentation with no indication on the palate of the percentage contained within. Allow to warm slightly to enjoy all of the nuance and complexity. Enjoy!

750ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a cloudy pink-orange with a thin, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that fully dissipates. Funky, fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, brett, raspberry, strawberry, peach, light oak and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, brett, raspberry, strawberry, mango, nectarine, peach, oak and floral hops in a dry, tart, acidic, Lacto finish. Medium body with a smooth, sticky texture and lively carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink. ABV is well hidden.
