Fermented with a mixed culture and aged for around three months, before being transferred onto 250l of blood orange and clementine juice, with an additional 50kg of whole fruit, which were zested, pulped, and juiced by hand.
These citrus fruits were freshly picked from the winter harvest of Italian organic producers Cooperativa I Fruitti del Sole & Oroverde.
All ingredients (apart from the citrus) were harvested within 33 miles of the brewery.

7-3-7-4-14 Bottle, 9,5 years before bbd. Pours semi translucent yellow, with a creamy head. Aroma is lactic notes with citrusy notes of candied orange peel, lime and grapefruit, as well as bretty notes of grass and funky minerals. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is lactic acid with citrusy notes of lemon, tangerines and grapefruit, as well bretty fruits, funk, tannins and wooden minerals. A bit one dimensional, but pleasantly refreshing and quaffable.
