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 homage 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!

Nokså flat og med en temmelig sur røyk, ikke en frisk røyk av ved, kanskje noe torvrøkt? Ikke helt min stil, for det blir mer ekstremt enn direkte godt.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange yellow with a white cap. Aroma: tart citrus , lemons, herbal, salt. Taste: light to moderate tartness, dry, tangy sharp citrus, herbal, salty edge. Medium body with soft carb. Don't think this version is up to the standard of the original version.
