Picture Pot is a blend of three brews produced in May/June of 2017. One wort fermented in our coolship before maturation in oak, the other two entirely in barrel.

We dry-hopped the resulting pale beer withwhole leaf Celeia, EKG and Amarillo.

Drink young for fresh hop aromatics. If aged, expect increasing brettanomyces funk.

75cl bottle @ Brewver Winter Gathering '21, thanks Eugene. BB 04/2026, bottled 04/2021.
Dorée, col épais blanc.
Arôme sur un nez finement malté repris de suite par un léger funk/bretts - petite touche poussiéreuse perçant en retrait avec cette impression de vieux grenier - le tout garde un côté presque de lambic.
Palais présente un bouquet correct sur le 'sour', finement fruité vert rappelant la groseille à maquereau, fini assez sec, agrumes - orange sanguine avec un fini restant très sec - limite copeaux / boisé.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Porter & Sons. Cloudy golden. Lots of oak, some whiskey, barnyard, fruitiness, some cider, sour, sharp, a bit of tangy bitterness, lemon rind, a bit acidic in the throat. Really good.
