Amber Lees was brewed to have a fairly rich and sweet malty body, balanced by firm bittering and relatively high acidity. This second blend has a touch more poise, along with a little more aromatic interest courtesy of the trans-atlantic dry hopping. This was made from a blend of 2 worts produced in May and August 2021. Half the blend fermented in two freshly emptied, unrinsed cider barrels. The other half in two California white wine barrels. The resulting beer was dry-hopped with whole-leaf Mosaic and Goldings, before priming with dark muscavado sugar for bottle conditioning. After a short 2 months in bottle the aroma is currently one of the most fruit-forward we have produced, with blueberry, strawberry, orange, and ginger in abundance.

Bottle, 750 ml, shared with MiroB and others at tomato vs aceto grand tasting. Amber with white head. Nice fruity notes, tropical mango, somewhat vinous, lasting bitterness. Some light to moderate tartness. Very nice.

Bottle. Mills online. Only got one on the strength of how had b1 was. Fortunately this is like a completely different beer. Clear amber, obvs. Very decent dense white foam. Nose has blueberries. This is according to the missus. I’m inclined to agree. Apart from that there’s warm apple pomace. White wine dregs. Pink grapefruit. Lots going off in various directions but it does come together. Taste has a funky juicy bittersweet character. Slick and juicy on the palate. Juicy slightly tart finish. Great stuff.
