Brewed in collaboration with TRVE Brewing Company.
Where I Live is our return collab following TRVE’s version, Where I Leave. For this special beer with our buds from Denver, we brewed a base using 100% Colorado-grown malt from Troubadour Maltings and fermented it with a Norwegian Kveik yeast. That beer was blended with our dark sour and foeder-aged with TRVE’s house culture. Just before canning, the beer was finished with Colorado whole flower lavender. That’s right. A Norwegian-inspired, mixed culture sour ale brewed with local malt and local lavender that’s named after a song by a Flemish metal band. Enjoy.

A: ruby hues with a tan head, fairly clear.
S: tart and acidic with notes of cranberry, plum, and raspberry.definitely some oak aroma as well.
T: tart up front with cranberry brightness, a hint of funk and wood, finish seems a touch watery and tannic. Not picking up the lavender at all.
M: light mouth feel, moderate carbonation, and a bit of a pucker in the finish.
O:overall a very interesting beer, the body is lacking something for me though.
