sprøng is a blend of mature wild ales, aged in oak puncheons (400 and 500L) for around 1,5 up to 3 years, and a barrel fermented and aged saison type of beer, which was dryhopped for a few months with Saaz hops. We’ve added Sicilian sage and also wormwood (artemisia absinthium and another secret variety) to the final blend to macerate a week before bottling. It’s a subtle addition we made compared to sprong, to add a slightly earthiness and spice to it.

Bottle pour at MBCC 2023, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy hops, woody branches, and oak. Flavour is twiggy, with lots of soil, funk, oak, and stone fruit acidity. Oaky, funky, and hoppy.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 10.10.2022. BB 10.10.2032. amber murky color, medium big white head. smells of sage, flowery, herbal, some honey, love the smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes herbal, sage, lemon balm, rosemary, light thyme, resiny. finishes lightly dry and light to medium herbal bitter with notes of sage, lemon balm and resiny notes. Love this one. I am a big fan of the original Sprong, this is everything that the first one was and takes it up a notch. Extreme and intense, not as mellow as the original one, but I just love it. Great beer again!
