The Hungarian Terroir Series was created for beers that are completely unique and unrepeatable. These beers are made with some special local ingredients, like fruits, spices or barrels. Furthermore the role of the producer is also very important. The first member of the series it's a collaboration brew with the Heumann Winery from Villány. Spontaneously fermented beer with Syrah pomace. After the fermentation we put the beer to Hungarian Syrah Red Wine Barrels for a year. The result is a very complex beer.Aroma is funky, a little brett and soft vinous notes. Taste is mildly sour with some Syrah red wine notes.

2017er edition. Fantastic fruity nose with hints of grain. Easy to drink with a moderate sourness. Very smooth with soft grain in the back. Fruity, mild, no bitterness. Grain, very mild and soft, fruity but a bite neutral in the aftertaste. Nice refreshing sour dry.

Huge thanks Midovark for sharing this! Hazy golden body, small whtie head. Lovely aroma, but not what one would expect. Floral, spicy aroma, honey, lighty dusty, and the taste continues in the same direction. Flowery taste, honeyish undertones, light caramel, light wood in the finish. Very, VERY hidden alcohol. No outright wine-like notes, but lovely, lean and fresh. Very good!

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours golden with a fizzy head that dissipates completely in no time. Lovely funky nose, Brett, Acetobacter and sour apple juice. Medium body, incredibly leathery from the Brett yet there's some apple juice sweetness. Ends dry though. Not exactly a Belgian Gueuze in complexity, but still surprisingly well made. 170320
