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.)

Growler from the blendery. Pours murky yellow, no head. Lovely grassy aroma, some ripening lemon, citrus peel, a little musty hay. Light sweet flavour with further sturdy grassy character, lemon rind, some mellow funk. Medium bodied, still. Quite drying in the finish, with more grassy bitterness, rounded citrus, mostly lemon, pale wood, hay, faint melon. Excellent stuff.

Bottle thanks to Glenn. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with medium off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is stone fruit, dough, wheat. Medium body, peach, funk, dough, nice tartness, very good.
