Each Avalonia starts with a blend of barrel-aged farmhouse ales fermented with our house mixed culture - typically, those blends are prepared with a particular whole fruit refermentation in mind. For Avalonia: Green, we brought in 400 lbs of green gooseberries. The fruit’s tangy, white grape and kiwi-like flavor is reminiscent of some of our favorite hop varieties and prior to bottling, we added a gentle dry hop of Citra and Nelson Sauvin to complement.

Brewery draught, 8/15/24. Chill-hazed golden-lime-brass. Small, frothy, white head. Oh boy...juicy, tight, tart hops and gooseberry complement the culture perfectly. Stiff mineral laid on nice and thick. Is there rubber band? Something like that. Not sure if it's Brett or gooseberry. But whatever. Juicy with flesh, skin and tart acids from fruit. Soft and malty, lots of mineral and such. Deep honey, tart fruit lingering. This is going to evolve beautifully.
