This beer is fairly new (batch 2), but it relates back to the origins of farmhouse ale at Jester King. Mineral-rich water, combined with a rustic malt character, herbal/spicy hoppiness, and wild fermentation is our main calling card. To achieve a rustic malt character, we brewed with malted barley, rye, spelt, and wheat, naked oats, and unmalted purple corn. We kettle and dry hopped with organic Perle and Fuggle hops from The Oregon Hophouse and fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned in bottles and kegs.

Tap at Brewdog Waterloo. A translucent brushed gold coloured pour with a a fine white head. Aroma is tart green apple, foraged green berries, spelt, white grape, vinous funk. Flavour is crisp, lemon twist, herbal citrus, grass, crisp white wine, white grape. Delicate stuff. Palate is crisp and delicate fine carbonation. Lovely.

Pours bright, clear gold into a tulip. Bright white micro head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy sheets. Lemon, hay, funk and honey aromas. Sharp with sweet biscuit, oatmeal, tart lemon and funky meringue upfront turning to dry, dusty funk in the earthy, lasting finish.

750ml bottle. Tartish, zesty lemony and citrusy with some grainy maltiness, farmyardy funky yeastiness and hints of grassy hops. Refreshing and pretty complex.
