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.)

Can shared in London - cheer! Pours unclear yellow with minimal head. Lovely beer overall, nice citric bite, lemon, a little zest, moderate funk, pale wood, grass. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Quenching finish, more zesty citrus, mellow rindy bitterness, light acidity, woody dryness. Super refreshing.
