Introducing Pulling Nails Blend #15...
I pulled the notes from Pulling Nails #8 to mimic the fruiting addition exactly - the ratio of raspberries to cherries. Then we blended up what could be the best foundation for these fruits and their refermentation by using the base for the blend #8 as a guide.
Where blend #8 used a portion of spontaneous beer back-blended with a 1-year-old saison, blend #15 uses a base of our lambic-inspired beer (quick turbid mash, funkiest of our cultures, expresses itself somewhere between Coexpressionalism and our old spontaneous beers) blended with Oude Fermier and a Brett-forward saison for some additional Brett spice and classical "funk." The blend was refermented on raspberries and cherries for less than 2 months (just like blend #8 yet unlike any other Side Project beer ever) and then allowed to bottle condition since early May.

poured from a 750mL bottle into a stemless wine glass. pours a beautiful dark pink to magenta with minimal pinkish-white foam cap that disappears quickly. jammy raspberry and cherry on the nose with soft oak in the background. taste has a jammy funk to it with a dry finish that also carries some acidic burn to it. it’s more than tart, but with some time that might round out to more funkiness than sourness. it does have a wonderful mix of cherry and raspberry to it. full mouthfeel with a zippy carbonation to it. it’s been way too long since i had PN8, but i feel like this does come close. i would say it’s a bit more sour than i remember that being which is kind of surprising. still, a very good beer.
