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.

75cl bottle shared with Soph, Martin and Laura. Great well rounded lambic, balanced mixed ferm sourness, lovely wild floral complexity, crisp palate and super refreshing. Really good.

750 ml bottle from the brewery. Bottled July 2022. Clearish deep golden color, white head that settles quickly. Aroma is earthy, damp clay, light dusty funk. Taste is equally earthy, almost to the point of tasting the salt, though it stops short of that. Mixed stonefruit in there as well, mainly peach, apricot, pear. Subtle lemon at the finish, and more earth. Light funk. Very tasty and very easy drinking.
