Description
Way back in 2004 we chose to move our young family across the world from southern French vineyards to a 580 ha farm in the Derwent Valley in southern Tasmania with a dream of growing vines and making wine. Instead we discovered a rich hop growing history and embarked on a project of ale instead, using ingredients from our farm, this valley and from across Tasmania.

Our farm is integral to our business. The ales and cider we brew and ferment in the converted shearing shed would be a different beast should we have chosen instead an inner city warehouse. The farm gives us a sense of place, connected to land and to ingredients we grow ourselves and source from other Tasmanian farmers too.

The old shearing shed was converted to house our brewery in 2008. The brewhouse itself was originally the St. Ives brewery in Battery Point, Hobart, installed back in the late 1980s. Rehoused on our farm, the old kettle & tanks are lovingly nurtured to life to help us on our journey to find a unique estate brewed beer.

Thanks TimE for sharing the bottle! Taster showing deep raspberry red with no head. The nose shows lightly intense notes of brett and light black forest berry. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately tart with light flavors of black forest berries with a light white wine bitterness at the finish.

Nice slightly hazy amber red hue. Slightly tart, spicy oak character beneath modest fruit notes. The mouthfeel isn’t exactly right, a bit lifeless, light, not too fruity, but excellent oak character. Overall nice but nothing about this beer shines. I like but don’t love

5000th rating. Bottle. Almost clear gold with a white head that doesn't last long. It seems this is made with 2mt beer and Rizza - Jura-style Riesling. Not at all clear from the label whether it's a blend or co-fermented or whatnot. Aroma is funky and spice with lime and mineral notes as well as some apricots. Pine nuts? The funk starts off dry brackenish then forest floor and then bog. Properly wild. 8+ Slightly slippery, lowish carbonation. The beer bosses the grapes - and bread, mellow stone fruit and spices are set off by the lime and funk. There's a little sweetness but the end is fairly dry. There's a brooding sourness but little if any bitterness.

Bottle. Clear deep red, no head. 3+ Aroma of lovely berries, bracken die-off, oak, crispbread. A bit of body, very low carbonation (which suits it just fine). A balance of berries, brooding sourness, and oak that worked very well for me with a little plate of Jamón and Comté - the food picks out the top fruit notes and the acidity. Very good. If the dry hopping did anything it certainly didn't register with me.

Bottle. Cloudy straw, no head, moderate bead. Aroma of fresh and some cooked apples, flowers, slightly cheesy funk. A fair bit of body, moderate to lowish carbonation. Sweet apples at first, then dries out a lot towards an end where acid starts to sharpen. Pretty good, avoids the thinness of some dry ciders but perhaps at the slight cost to piecing apple flavours.
