This is the last barrel aged beer we brewed in Blenheim, before uprooting and setting up a new brewery in the North. A 100% spontaneous fermented and barrel aged lambic inspired beer, co-fermented with the equally spontaneous fermented Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc juice from our fine friends at Cirro Wines.

Bottle, thanks Sten. Cloudy straw, looking relatively flat. Super tart nose, acidic, some fruit character there, good funk and has a chalky side too. Tastes tart, lots of oak, good funk - tart but not too acidic, lambic feel to it. Citrus, funk and a bit of barnyard, refreshing and satisfying at the same time. Light vinegar in the finish. Tasty, I do like this.
