Scottish Export brewed with locally foraged spruce tips and fermented with wild yeast.

Deep copper in colour with an off-white head, this mixed ferm beer is built on a foundation of Maris Otter and Aromatic malts. The sweet, caramel-biscuit base continues to define this beer but is now partnered with powerful pine-citrus and funky, fruity brett flavours following a year-long maturation with spruce tips and our house culture of wild yeast strains.

Sour cola with lime; subtle earthy and herbal notes; soft and smooth with tingly bitterness and a long, clean finish; this is as complex and unexpected as you’d expect.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown with orange chinks. Creamy, beige head. So looks like an 80 shilling. Nose - sweet funk and sweet spruce. Wood and lanolin. Taste - sweet spruce, wood, orange and light toffee. Then dried out. Palate - light bodied, then some short lived sweetness with a dry and funky middle and finish. Overall - interesting beer.
