Description
Ancient Beer, Modern Method.
Fermenting since 2014 with only wild brattleboro mixed culture yeast. continually pushing boundaries of new sour beer. brewhouse fueled by wood, not fossils.
To truly understand terroir and wild yeast, a brewer must come to terms with the type of beer that “wants to be made” in their region. We are proud of Brattleboro’s wild yeast for its balance, its stone fruit and pecan character, and how dry and effervescent it leaves the beer. We are grateful to our region’s farms for the availability of world class hops and fruits, as well as to our area distilleries for unique and beautiful oak barrel flavor histories.
We delight in making beer that could only be made in our place, with our team, supported by our community and environment.

Can split at Brewdog Manchester, 21/02/20. Almsost clear golden amber with a decent off white head. Nose is dusty fruits, funk, stale bread, sharp citric zest. Taste comprises bitter sweet citric zest, wood must, apple core, tarte fruits, acidic bite, vanilla oak, damp hay. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close shrouded with a modest funk blanket. Ok sour if a touch on the raw side.

Tall can from Brewdog Birmingham. Murky gold pour, good white head. Aroma is noticeably sweet, sugary, sherbetty. Taste follows with a distinctly sweet, sherbetty, super tangy character that masks whatever hops are present. Way too tangy and sweet for me.

Can shared with my bro. It pours clear rich red - brown with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, earthy, ripe cherry vibes, touch of vanilla, bakewell pudding, sweaty funk, jammy action, toasted almond and marzipan. The taste is firmly dry, bright acidity, sour, puckering, fairly harsh, minerality, zingy, sour cherry, splash of red wine vinegar, toasted almond, marzipan and sherbet with an acidic finish. Lighter end of medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A touch harsh to be honest, but it's alright.
