Process: A blend of 2 and 3 year old pale ales brewed with malted barley and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. Generously dry-hopped with fresh, green Harlequin grown in Herefordshire.
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.

Very, very nice. Got the great funkiness and the hops really add something. Don’t know Harlequin hops but this is very good. Really enjoyable and very easy drinking

Bottle at the air bnb, thanks to Fergus, wee hours 10/02/24. Hazed orange with a thin white crown that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange peel, hint of apricot, papaya, mandarin, damp cloth, hay bale. Taste comprises sharp citric flesh, hedgerow, herb, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced acidic spike. Decent.

The fresh hops on this are a lovely addition, slightly green, but lots of Brett and soft funk. Not much barrel
