Our light-bodied Belgian-style Ale was matured on local blueberries for a soft purple color and a balanced berry aroma. The oak aging layers a hint of vanilla and mild dry tannin notes. Secondary fermentation adds a mild acidity and earthy character that will continue to evolve over time. Click here for the full backstory.

Veldig god balanse, selv om den stresser meg på referanserammer. Fon og edel infeksjon. Liker.

Bottle at WTF V. Pours a cloudy purple with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong spice and berry. Thin body, grape, berry, oak, vinous, very good.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of funky brett, tart blueberries, and light acidity. Flavour is quite blueberry-dominated, with lots of tart blueberry skins, followed by lightly funky brett, and more tart fruit skins. Nicely incorporated fruit with the brett. Very good.
