Appalachian Wild Ale brewed with local blackberries
Appalachian Wild Ale brewed with local barley and local raw wheat. Boiled with burlap-aged hops. Fermented with our mixed house cultured in stainless steel. Transferred into oak for 4-6 months of aging. Transferred out of oak onto a massive amount of local blackberries from the harvest of July of 2018. Fermented and aged on the berries for 3-4 months and transferred back into red wine barrels. Matured in the wine barrels for an additional 6 months. 12-15 months old at time of bottling. Conditioned naturally inside the bottle and keg. Blackberries were grown at River Ridge Organics of Grayson County, Virginia and were harvested in the summer of 2018. The absurd level of fruiting, paired with an extra long maturation time allowed 2018/2019

Fat på MBCC 2017. Röd fin färg. Doft och smak av körsbär, blåbär, körsbärskärnor. Friska syrliga toner med en del halm och blött hö. Trevlig men kanske lite blek.
