Process: Pale wheat beer brewed with malted barley, malted wheat and raw wheat from the 2019/2020 season. Spontaneously fermented and aged in a neutral french oak barrel for 8 months. Morello cherries were then added to the barrel. We bought the cherries from a very small grower in Kent. The beer remained on fruit for a further 12 months. We then blended back with two more pale wheat beer components from the 2020/2021 season before bottling.
Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on side and conditioned until release.
Ingredients: Malted barley (pilsner), malted wheat, raw wheat, aged hops (whole leaf fuggles, whole lead Saaz & whole leaf strisselspalt), morello cherries, water.
Brew season: 2019/2020 & 2020/2021
