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.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Cloudy golden, brief head. Bretty, floral pear aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with some salt, marzipan and sweat. Mild hay-like bitterness. Somewhat heavy handed.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy yellow with fizzy white head. Tart mineral smell with lemon, honey and grapes. Taste is all about grapes and mineral with a bit of yeast and honey underneath. Pretty dry with a hint of bitterness in the finish.
