Back in 2019, we decided to experiment with British made fruit purees to slightly deviate from our usual foraging/locally sourcing of whole fruit. You may have tried our Blueberry Sour or Blackcurrant & Rye Sours released earlier in 2021. While we used a substantial amount of puree in each of those beers, we still found we had some remaining. We decided to take a barrel we had been ageing to potentially use in our Stupid Sexy Suffolk Blend, add the purees and see where it went! The base of our own malted barley with a touch of rye malt for a light spice picks up on the fruity tannins with the oak coming through. Light acetic complexities further push the fruit to the fore.

Bottle, at Patricks. An almost clear one, golden in color, with a small white head. Caramel, bread, funk, lemon and an oaked like touch. It's tart and fin bodied, softly carbonated, with mostly fruity flavors. Lemon, melon, some oaked notes and a light malty touch. Hay, funk, grass and some bready pale malts. Medium length finish. Rather dull this one. 240418
