Description
Holy Goat is a Dundee based brewery specialising in the production of mixed- fermentation and wood aged beers.

Mixed fermentation refers to the use of unconventional yeasts and bacteria in brewing, which allows production of beers with unique character. We are driven by experimentation and are obsessed with the awesome flavours which can be achieved from mixed-culture fermentations.

Inspired by tradition mixed fermentation beer styles we seek to pay hommage to our brewing forbears, using new techniques, fermentation styles and the highest quality ingredients to produce complex, interesting and (most importantly) tasty beer!

The breweries name references the tongue-in-cheek description of the ‘goat’ like qualities of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) characteristics. A reverence to this yeast and to the beers which display these characteristics is a strong part of the identity of the brewery.

Hail the goat!

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma has bright, tart raspberries, a touch of wild yeast, and light floral notes. Flavour is complex, with a bright raspberry character, plenty of complex bugginess, and light acidity. Excellent berry character that melds well with their great buggy base.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy deep golden body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Aroma of marmalade and pine. Flavour of lemon and grapefruit. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It might not look like a west coast IPA, but it certainly tastes like one: bold, bitter and sharp.

440mL can, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has a lot of earthy rye spiciness, medium roast, and a touch of smokiness. Flavour has a nice malt profile, with a wonderful earthy rye spiciness, gentle smoke, and medium roast. Quite dry, earthy, and gently smoky. Cohesive and eminently drinkable. Very good.
