A fun experiment in how switching one or two ingredients in a beer can drastically transform the profile of a beer. Brewed with the same grist of 2-row and Maris Otter as our beloved house beer, Bancroft Beer, but hopped with aged East Kent Goldings in the kettle. We then pitched our RAF mixed culture blend, and allowed it to ferment and condition for 3 months before being dry hopped with fresh East Kent Goldings. The result is a completely unique experience compared to regular Bancroft Beer. A bright lemony citric punch up front which lends way to delicate earthy malt with a bone dry finish shaped by our classic minerality.

8 oz. Aroma of musty grain and funk. Flavor follows with the addition of citric acid. Mild sour berry finish. Bone dry texture that make me want another sip. Nice!

Draught at source: pours pale Gold With white head. Aroma is yeasty, floralish, somewhat fruity. Kind of funky. Lightly sweet. Funked aftertaste.
