This beer is fermented exclusively with wild local yeasts and bacteria found on dandelions. The brewing process began over a year ago, when we discovered while picking dandelion flowers that the bacteria in the dandelion create flavors of pineapple, candy, and tea leaves, and balance the acidity. The beer was fermented in wooden Bordeaux wine barrels, with the addition of Blue Franconian grapes, which gave it a soft red color. After natural fermentation and maceration, it was bottled with natural cork, which created gentle bubbles for extra freshness.

Cork-top bottle, 0.75l, shared with David & Sima. Aroma is vinous, musty, funky and floral. Pours hazy dark brownish pinky color with large frothy off-white head, yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Tastes tart vinous, citrusy and funky, following is woody and faint leathery with relatively smooth mouthfeel. Medium body, slick texture and lively
carbonation in palate. Another sour gem…

Bottle shared at the 2025 Pre-Christmas/NY Zaandam Borrel. Poured a hazy pink colour with little life. The flavour is moderate sour, with a smooth, somewhat light, tart raspberry palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
