Nera, much like its sister beer Rubis, is a unique expression of second use fruit in our farmhouse beer. In this case a foeder aged farmhouse ale, made with local grains and our house mixed culture, was transferred onto “spent” black raspberries and blackberries. What emerged was a beer with beautifully integrated yet surprisingly fresh/intense fruit character. Nera was can-conditioned and carries a lively carbonation - leaning further into its playful/refreshing side.

Batch 1, 12oz can, canned 1/31/25, drunk 5/7/25.
Cherry-raspberry red, good clarity. Large, pinkish head, moderate retention.
Fruity, well-aged Brett mixing with round, well-aged fruits showing minimal acidity and plentiful juiciness. Good balance, with fruit not overdone, allowing saison yeast room to move.
Fruity, juicy, playful with a malty but perfectly-attenuated texture and tight carbonation. Love it all here - the excellent saison yeast character that isn't crude or Americanized, the lower acidity and tasteful fruit character. And this was canned about 4 months before release; the mark of a great brewery (conditioning their bottles and cans).
