Process: A blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old golden ales brewed with malted barley and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. Refermented on Damascene damsons grown in Worcestershire.
Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on their sides and conditioned until release.

Bottleshare at CBJ, thanks to Fergus for the bottle. A mild haze on this amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Tart ripe fruits, slightly sour. Airy and semi dry finish. Fine.
