The Púca was a mystical force, manifesting itself in multiple forms. It was believed that beer was created magically, a sort of soup possessed by the spirits; but wild yeast was of course the magic at play. For this cloudy, crisp, tart and fruity beer style, we have fostered our own wild yeast. It brings the complexity, the surprise, and it certainly bring the magic.

Description:
A beautiful pink mixed fermentation beer, brewed with our house cultivated wild yeasts.

Using our Púca Lemon as the base beer, we then added loads of ginger to the oil followed by additions of hibiscus, rose hips, strawberries, raspberries and elderberries.

Tasting Notes:
A tart and refreshing wheat beer brewed with oats, lemon peel, ginger and coriander.The flavour and aroma are dominated by fresh citrus and hibiscus notes. Beautifully balanced acidity, with an ultra refreshing finish.

Ingredients:
Water, barley, wheat, oats, lemon, coriander, hibiscus, ginger, rosehips & berries.

Keg at Bottle Shop Bermondsey. It pours reddish pink with a tiny white head. The aroma is fresh, fruity, juicy, tart red berry, lemon peel and hibiscus. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, sour berry, light spice, lactic, sherbet, Granny Smith apple, floral vibes and hibiscus with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Works rather well.

Mesmerisingly complex yet with so much drinkability which says a lot considering the brave ingredients used. Take a bow. Second beer of fest
