Description
he Referend Bier Blendery practices the neglected art of waiting, of letting nature run its course, to produce a beer of depth and character inimitable through technological shortcuts or chemical interference.These beers are:
-100% spontaneously fermented
-no yeast cultures are added at any point in the process
-Fermented and matured in oak barrels
-neutral oak imparts little flavor and allows the beer to breathe
-Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Unsweetened to sustain the beer's natural essence
-Built for posterity
-bottles are capable of decades of aging
-Acidic and complex (not basic.)

Corked and caged 375 ml bottle from the brewery, via delivery, 6/21/201. From the Temps Perdu: Adventuresome set. Bottled 9/29/18. Pinkish-orange color with a thin head that dissipates quickly down to nothing. Funky, elderflower, and stone fruit. Some herbal and spice tinges as well. Good bit of wood to it. Rather tart and acidic. Well done.

750ml bottle from Tavour. Hazy yellow body, big airy bubbles. Aroma is apples, white grape, light tartness. Taste is fruity, apples, white wine grapes. A small amount of pucker makes this pretty smooth. Sublime
