This sour "wild ale" recalls the earliest rustic beers crafted centuries ago before brewers had an understanding of controlled fermentation. Brewed with the addition of locally grown lemon verbena herb, as well as lactobacillus and wild brettanomyces yeast, Telegraph Reserve Wheat is an all-together different beast from modern beer. Light, tart and extremely refreshing, this special brew is available in extremely limited quantities.

bottle thanks to Playitbybeer for bringing this! Pours light yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is sour lemon, juice and rind with some pale grains. Flavor is grainy with an almost gritty feel and a big sour finish that is more barnyard and earthy than lactic and acidic.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of wavers1. Pours a clear pale yellow with a lively white head leaving a little lacework. Dry tartness in the nose - and coriander?? Light body, dry indeed, a little fruity but again these strange perfumy coriander notes - oh I see, it’s gonna be the lemon verbana, whatever that is. Ends dry but not overly tart. Refreshing, but not really to style. 290311

Bottle shared a the opening night of the 2010 RBSG. Poured a very cloudy pale gold/yellow with a white head that lasted. Aroma aroma had tart fruits with a bit of citrus (lemon) and some wheat notes as well. Also picked up a bit of funk from the aroma. Flavor had tart fruits with a hint of lemon and sweet grains. There was a bit of funk here on the tongue as well but I thought it melded nicely with the beer.
