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.

Golden color, white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of yeast, lime peel, notes of bretts. Flavor with a decent sourness, barnyard, citrusy, yeasty and hints of white grapes. Acidic final, fruity with dry mouthfeel.

Bottle at home. Has a hazy straw colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of flowers, lime, rowanberries, spices, grass and barn yard. Sour flavour of dry hay, gooseberries, white bread and lime. Has a slick and silky mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Sour and interesting.

Bottled. Thanks Višnja! Hazy golden body, white head. Sourish clean lactic aroma, bit malty, some fruity touches. Sour and sweetish clean taste, light beet, light lemony touches. Good mouthfeel. Interesting really, different, but not that much more than okay.
