A blend of three barrels, this Champagne and Belgian yeast fermented wild ale was aged in white and red wine barrels for up to 4 years, before reconditioning in bottle for a year. Champagne aroma, honey malt, and spritzy carbonation balance the mild funk and light acidity.

30/10/2023. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours cloudy pale orange gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is woody, citric, yeasty, petroleum, hint of honey. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with some musty sourness. Medium body, average carbonation. Not so sure about this compared to the other CW tried tonight.

Bottle share at CBJ. Thanks to Wingman. A light haze on this pale yellow beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Acetic fruits, some mild burn. Little glue. Some light floral fruits getting vaguely salty. Throat burning finish. Fuck me!
