Glass is our series of beers characterised by a delicate minerally flavour, fresh kettle-hop aroma, and the addition of sea salt in the blending tank. This is our third iteration. In February, April and August 2020 we produced extra pale, minerally worts, with fresh East Kent Goldings hops. The fresh hops add wonderful aromatics (quite distinct from dry hop character) as well as acting to restrain the acidity produced in the wild fermentation. We made a blend from the four most delicate tasting barrels and added a touch of Cornish sea salt into the blending tank to give a crisp finish.

Bottled July 2022. Golden, clear body, with a medium, off-white head. Aroma of citrus, funk, wood, straw, apple, some stone fruits. Tastes quite similar, with a bit more vinegar. Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes medium acidic, dry, citric, wooden, with green apple zest. A bit on the acidic side, while still well balanced. Beautiful funk and fruit notes. Very fresh and elegant to drink. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

Bottle. Mills online. Second go at this. Must have just fancied chugging the first one without thinking about it. Anyway. Soft haze on a pale gold. Very decent glossy white foam. Crisp mineraly and lightly funky. Super clean and bright. Sharp fine carbonation. Nice hop spice. Clean mineral finish. Not too complex but nevertheless it’s a quality easy drinking affair.

750mL bottled 12/2022, drunk 3/18/23, thanks, Gene! Mostly clear, honey-bronze. No head. Really nice nose, lots of lactic acid it, but well-aged and not punchy. Hint of coriander and heavy mineral. Soft, light malt, malo-lactic goodness with light tannin. Great balance to it with juicy fruits and lingering gentle bitterness. Clean but with plentiful minerality. Wow this is fantastic, especially given the abv.
