Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

(Bottle, 0.75l, at Musta Kynnys, 20260519) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had tartness, grapefruit, wood and lightly vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were tartness, sourness, grapefruit, fruit stones, wood and bitterness. Aftertaste was tart, fruity and bitter. A tasty sour brew reaching lambic territory.

0.75l courtesy of Mitrović, distracting us while judging in Split, hah. Hazy red body, pinkish to off-white head. Smooth red wine notes in the aroma, yeasty in an elegant way, light acetic note, grape candy. Smooth tart red grape/berry taste, lightly acetic, lactic acid notes, smooth before the tartness kicks in. BIt earthy, spicy, low warmth. Elegant but overpriced apparently.

Op tap bij Biererei. Troebel oranjegele kleur, witte kraag. Abrikoos, perzik, sinaasappel, ruikt meer zoet dan zuur, zure smaak, niet heel funky, fris. Lichte tot medium body. Prima.

Aromas are resin up front with malt, caramel, citrus and wet grain. Flavors are similar to nose. Well balanced bittersweet with good body and carbonation. Slightly bitter finish. Pretty good beer.
