The first beer fermented in our wood foeder. Mixed culture Euro style table beer. Mildly tart with a light oak finish.

This is the inaugural beer from the Cultivate brew house, aged in their new oak foeder. Unfortunately it missed the mark, and was very bland with an off aroma. Maybe it needs more conditioning time.

Pale gold, slightly hazy with a thin layer of foam. Aroma is weird, wet wood and musty dishrag. Not funky in a good way. Mildly tart, feebly so, with some soggy grain and lacto presence. Not crisp and dry as one would expect, thin and watery, seemingly under-carbed. I'll revisit this down the road, hopefully this was just a pilot batch and they improve with the next release.
