Description
Pastore Brewing and Blending produce fresh and aged sour and wild beers.

The fresh series looks at accessible, fun, modern takes on mix-ferm brewing, utilising Kveik and Lactobacillus co-fermentation in fruited Waterbeach Weisses, Sour IPAs and Pastry Sours.

The cellar series is built around our house (mother) culture of Brettanomyces and lactic acid bacteria. We blend with different bases to produce an exciting range of aged wild ales, some in stainless steel and some as part of an extensive barrel program and blendery. Many of these beers are blended on fresh fruit in season.

Biscuity wheat nose, thin watery strawberry, improves as it warms, but still underwhelmed, pleasantly sour

375ml bottle. Funky, citrusy and vinous with some grapes, apricots, farmyard, hints of tartness and floral notes. Quite soft and smooth but still pretty complex funky saison. Surprisingly good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Wild Saison (2019) on 29 Aug 2020 at 19:17 - Score: 8

So, this is exactly what it says on the “tin”— black ale, with intense orange peel. Roasted malts,

Moderate sweetness and tartness with a slight salty edge. Moderate body and average carbonation. Developed a odd slightly sicky edge. Enjoyed it, aside from that.
