Susurrus, back for the third time, has come to always feature kettle additions of yarrow plucked here on Music Vale Road and sumac foraged by our buds at Hunts Brook Farm as well as a re-fermentation on a combination of second use fruits. Following a period of foeder-aging, this batch was transferred onto the spent blackberries and black raspberries from Avalonia: Black…it might very well be our favorite fruit combination for the beer. Our intent with Susurrus is to always treat the fruit as a compliment to the botanical component of the beer, never drowning out or dominating the delicate yarrow and sumac. These fruits, much more than previous combinations, mingle with and enhance that side of the beer in a beautiful way. The entirely unique

750mL bottled March 2022, batch 3, drunk 9/22/22. Dark cherry-raspberry, lightly hazy with a small, pink head. Yarrow-and-sumac nose with lemon, raspberry, acid and juice. Tart lactic notes with mild, chalky and mineral-rich fruit skins. Soft and mild, with easygoing fruit and acidity. Similar flavor. Lots of sumac and yarrow with soft, honey-like malt and mild lactic acidity. Fruits are chalky, mineral-rich, as usual for second run. Easygoing, clean, tart and snappy with a big minerality and easygoing, well-attenuated, big malt depth.
