-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 shared in London - sourced from the blendery. Pours mostly clear, bright red with a few bubbles on top. Great aroma, with tangy cherries, seedy raspberry, soft funk. Light sweet flavour with cleansing acidity, juicy tart cherries, light seedy bitterness, some lemony twang, a little woody dryness. Light bodied with quite subtle carbonation. Quenching finish, with more bright cherries, background raspberry, more tart lemons and woody dryness. Supremely quenching, with true cherry character. Fantastic stuff from start to finish.

Light sweet flavour with a strongly forward elderflower character, soft lemony acidity, some grassy bitterness. Medium bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Clean finish with some spicy elderflower and green pepper, understated wheat bread, more restrained acidity. Outstanding.
