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.)

Craft TCR bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts. Nice light tartness here, a sprinkle of lemon sherbet. Light dry finish. Lemony linger. Quite light and approachable.

Bottle shared in London - sourced via the brewery. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy white head. Refreshingly tart with moderate citric bite, soft woody dryness, lemon candies. Light bodied with light, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, tart and dry, nice pale wood notes, quenching acidity. Great stuff. Highly drinkable.
