Jeune(French for "young") is a single barrel of a 100% spontaneously fermented turbid mashed beer. At only 6 months in age, this barrel is an incredible expression of our what we envision this project becoming. The acidity has developed to resemble a 1-1.5 year old traditional spontaneously fermented ale. Jeune is the blood of The Veil. It's the most passion driven element of our project. The spontaneous program is guided by patience. We allow the beer to tell us when it is ready. We may not see more from these barrels for months or years.

Tap into a wineglass showing lightly filtered dark honey yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows a lightly tart lager maltiness. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Moderate but gentle tartness with flavors o light peach and apricot with a big resurgence of juicy peach on the finish.
