Blending + Sour + Ninkasi
The art of blending has huge appreciation in the wine and whisky world but isn’t often talked about in terms of beer. Perhaps it’s considered a little too wild? Not for us.
Zintuki is Ninkasi’s younger, wilder sister (and goddess of food and dinner.) A perfect name for this blend of Ninkasi (our Celebratory beer made with a small amount of local apple juice) and Somerset Wild (a sour beer fermented using yeast and bacteria from local orchards).
A combination of the complexity and champagne spritziness of Ninkasi with the dry lemon acidic sharpness of Somerset Wild, gives a blend richly aromatic on the nose, refreshing on the tongue and deeply satisfying on the palate. Designed, and named, to be the perfect complement to food, this beer is heavenly with fish, chicken or cheese.

Bottle. Pale colour, cloudy, rocky head that disappears after a while. Aroma is dry apple cider, apple peel. Medium sour. Lively carbonation, light body. Without looking at the bottle, I would say it's a cider. Very good!

Bottle @ Mig & Øksnedkeren, Aarhus. Pours hazy straw with airy white head. Vinous and dusty aroma of yeast, with mild hints of malt. Dry, vinous flavour with estery notes and bitter, hoppy touches. Estery and vinous aftertaste. A nice one.
