Bringing fresh beer sensibilities to bear on our barrel project, we explore how our most celebrated Crop Year 2019 hops behave in a new environment. Aged nine months in foudre, this was then dry-hopped with 25g/L of Citra and Centennial before bottling. Intense lime, pineapple and creamed coconut flavours are supported by light, funky notes.

Bottle split at James, picked up from CW online, 17/08/21. Murky orange amber with a good sized off white head. Nose is stoned fruit esters, grass, funk, light dungy brett pangs, bitter orange. Taste comprises tarte mango, citric zest, damp straw, funk, ripe tropical fruit esters, bretty tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boost offered allied to a funky hop dusting. Solid gear.

Taste: sharp & tart with plenty of citrus pith/zest, nice bitterness. Medium body with light carbonation. These bretted foudre beers are wonderful.

Bottle. CW online. Fully hazy vibrant gold. Fine CW swede. Nose has full on leathery brett. Vine fruit soaked oak. Dry white wine dregs. Fusty citrus peel. Stinks, to be honest. Taste is sharp, tart, leathery and full on citrus bitter. Smooth and medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Sharp and juicy. Turns pretty dry, with a touch of acidity. Lingering pithy citrus bitterness to finish. Another great beer in the series.
