They fermented in a mixture of old bourbon barrels and freshly emptied cider barrels (from Oliver's Cider and Perry, and Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry Company).
The resulting blend received a large dose of primings to produce lively carbonation, before maturation in bottle for nine months prior to release. The finished beer is bright, funky and sharp, with heady aromatics from the spirit barrel and a creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Hazy yellow golden. Lots of bourbon, sweet grains, lemon zest, soft oak, sour gooseberries, light yeast and spices, I don't get much cider but there's some typical barnyard funk. Under medium sweet and less sour. Medium bodied. Lovely!

Bottled at the RBESG 23 grand tasting, huge thanks to whoever brought it! Murky yellow body, thick white head. Spicy aroma, herbal, apple notes, soft overall. Soft sour taste, applea, peaches, light phenolics - very low, light acidic touch, but fresh-seeming and fun!
