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. The Referends take på en druvlambic. Bra kropp, ljust surdegsbröd, sötadyrliga druvor, strå, aningen funk, mjuk vinäger, fat. Riktigt elegant och snygg. Kanske inte ska jämföras med belgiska förlagor och då är det riktigt hög klass. Mycket gott

Funky strawberries! It's extra tart but not overwhelmingly and the sweet bits of strawberry plus the nose are great
