In late spring 2022, we received a batch of 2-year-old Danish Shipyard Ale that had been aged in Chardonnay barrels at the Baghaven Blenderia from passionate port lover Ehren Schmidt. We carefully blended it with 1-year-old lambic and a touch of very young lambic. After an additional 2 years of aging in Bordeaux barrels, we finalized it with a 50/50 ratio of lambic and Danish Shipyard Ale.

2022 vintage. 750mL bottle at La Fruitiere, pours a cloudy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has some dusty white wine barrels, moderate funk, and citrus zest. Flavour is wonderfully funky and vinous, with lots of wine must, citrus zest, and barnyard funk. Excellent blend, with the wine barrels wonderfully expressed.

[2022 Vintage] 750mL bottle at La Fruitiere. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Nose has a bunch of musty grape skins and a good amount of funk. Flavour is similar, dry and funk with a very nice, pungent grape must. Very good.
