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.)

Bottle pour. Poured a clear golden color with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma was big lemon, tart peaches. Flavor was dusty peaches, grassy, some light lemon. Tart. Really pleasant peach fruit, dry, with just a pinch of sourness. 2019 bottle. At a DCBeer share.

Bottle shared at CBJ. Cheers! Pours clear yellow with a small, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour with some tangy pale wood, a little salinity, subtle funk, bitter grass. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Twangy finish, lip-smacking, lemon peel, grass, some phenolic notes. Interesting gear.

So much going on here thrown in as extra with a Referend trade but very cool stuff. Milky yellow orange pour and only few bubbles to top it off. Nose is grape must, wood, funk, citrus. Tastes of sharp apricot, woody, funky barnyard, wine grapes, strawberries. Tart and funky.

Gnarly good spon Berliner strikes again! Whiskey BA adds some vanilla bite, mostly tangy Berliner notes that linger on the finish.
