About
Vanaf 26 maart 2020 gaat Hobbybrouwerij Mara officieel verder als Symbiose Brewing / Blending. Ze blijven super kleinschalig zelf brouwen en blenden, door te experimenteren met diverse bieren, lokaal fruit en combinaties met cider, natuurwijn en mede zoeken ze naar symbiose. Symbiose is een samenwerking van Chiel Westra, Erik Drijfhout en Klaas Jan Geertsema. Symbiose Brewing/Blending maakt wilde bieren, cider, natuurwijn en hybride combinaties van deze drie wanneer daar symbiose ontstaat. Hiervoor gebruikt me zoveel mogelijk lokaal en vers geplukt fruit.

De meeste blended bieren worden gemaakt met een grote hoeveelheid spontaan wild bier van Brouwerij en Stekerij Vandenbroek. Dat bier wordt gebrouwen in koperen ketels, gekookt op houtvuur, gekoeld in een koelschip en vervolgens jarenlang vergist en gerijpt in houten vaten.

Opens with a loud poof. Pours a magnificent deep dark ruby, clear, with a small bit of light purple foam. Smells woody, vinous, red wine but also lambic funk, grape. Soft, well carbed, fairly sour but not sharp. Lots of grape, nice lambic funk. Awesome.

Now this is interesting. Nicely dry, with a soft acidity and plenty of wood. All as expected. However, I'm getting loads of herbal flavours. Was the Tommie Sjef ale one of his sage beers, perhaps? Different, but it works quite well. Symbiose always nice.

EB. Very nice “bramble” character. Wild forest berries with fairly high yet manageable acidity and light funk. Hint of almond and cinnamon in the background. Very nice beer!

Yesterday. Good but doesn’t quite reach all the way compared to the other Symbiose of the evening. Hint rough both when it comes to the acidity and tannins. Suspect it’ll be great with age as it mellows out though.
