A contemporary take on a Belgian-style berry lambic, fermented with Brettanomyces yeasts from the Senna River Valley and matured on fresh blueberries from Latvian 2023 season. In the aroma of the deep purple drink, wild yeast esters wrap around the mossy essence of blueberry. On the tongue, the blueberry fully plays out its juiciness, which adds slightly tart layer on the moss and funk, as well as playing some unexpected notes of nutmeg and cloves in the aftertaste.

Smells like blueberries with tons of oak. Sweet tart palate. Great depth. Good stuff
