The LRV (Liquid Riot Vessel) is a custom built double-decker oceanside koelschip, which sits outside on our deck overlooking the wharf during the colder winter months where the wild yeast and bacteria naturally found in the ambient air inoculate our fresh brewed wort overnight. Following the steps of traditionally blended gueuze, to make our 3yr blend, we blend beers that have been spontaneously fermented and aged in oak barrels for 1, 2 and 3 years.

Brewery draught, 6/16/22. Blend Number 2. Clear, deep brass. Small, white head showing moderate retention for the style. Soft, round, tannin-heavy nose with strong yellow fruit, vanilla, very mild lactic acid and soft Brett. Honey and biscuit-like grains with hints of citrus peel on the finish. Clean and aromatic without any aggressive acidity. Soft, round, fruity and lightly sour with a soft, malty texture with dough and honey, as well as oak tannin and mild Brett. Lip-smacking sour acidity on the finish, but all in good balance. Reminds me most of Oxbow's Native Wild - must be a local yeast thing. Excellent, mild, but very flavorful and drinkably refreshing; just what a gueuze should be.
