Description
The 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.)

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy cherry colour beer, no head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Mildly tart raspberry and cherry. A touch of vanilla keeps the tartness in check. Cherryade and lemon sherbet on the finish. Nice, not over sour.
