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.)

Drucken på fat på Bishop Gustaf, Malmö. Grumlig gyllengul vätska utan skum. Murrig och jordig syrlig doft. Överlag en vinös bouquet. Övermogna druvor, fat, fuktig trä, löv, jord, en touch jordgubbar, cideräpplen allt lite lambicdressat. Elegant, komplex, rustik. Ruskigt gott

That's a lot of mushroom umami. Thick flavor, tart and savory.
