To make its base we blended three barrels of mixed culture Saisons and one Lambic-inspired brew before fruiting the lot. We were really looking to achieve a delicate malt to hop flavour ratio so that our whole, juicy blueberries could shine like the stars they are. It might sound like a dangerous game, but we all came out winners.
It’s low in acidity and high in funk, visual appeal, and probability of becoming your next favourite. It’s a feast for the eyes and guaranteed to get the taste buds a tingling. How could you not fall under its spell? Venture into Amethyst Realm at your earliest convenience."

Poured from 750mL bottle (Release 034; Bottled January 2023; 6.4% abv). Clear dark ruby red with small white head. Further pours were murky .Light blueberry and thyme with very feint wild yeast tartness, clean and simple, not especially interesting, but okay sipper.

Purplish and hazy. No head. Gin barrel coming through - big, fruity, vinous. Well-balanced beer with grape, gin, and solid base.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2024. Pours cloudy deep red. Aroma has a bit of barnyard moldiness. Flavour has slightly moldy cherries. Pretty solid.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy dark red with a small white head. Aroma is quite dry, with dry blueberries, earthiness, and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour almost reminds me of a sahti, with soil-like funk, some juniper, and earthy funk. There's gentle jammy blueberries on the finish. Very nice — unique.

inky purple color. Inky purple color. Smells like black tea, raspberry, blackberry, mildly tart a touch of oak. Amazing depth. Soooo good.
