Our fourth iteration of this delicate saison. Spectre Sister is a blend of four extra pale beers produced in October 2019 and October 2020. The worts were made with maize, wheat, oats and rice to produce delicately flavoured, yet full-bodied beers.
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.

Taste is sharp and fruity with a herbal bretty funky bitterness. Super fresh and lightly sharp mouthfeel. Brisk carbonation. Mouthwatering gear this. Juicy funky finish. Class.
