Blended in 2018, our first 100% spontaneously fermented ale showcases inspiration from lambic blenders near the Senne River valley in Belgium. Turbid wort containing barley and unmalted wheat was boiled with hops grown by our head brewer in 2012. Barrel vintages from 2016 and 2017 were meticulously selected and blended into stainless. For over six months, this ale rested upon organic black currants from our award-winning friends at The Blue Fruit Farm. Conditioned in the bottle for three seasons, we hope you enjoy the beautiful gifts of southeastern Minnesota.

A big thanks to Jeff for this one. 750ml waxed and capped bottle into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter.
I always remember never to pour the dregs but this one really isn't much to look at. A muddy purple. Nose is purple grapes, plastic, a metallic aroma, and a light vinegar tartness. Solid. Beer opens purple grape skin, oak, and vinegar. A get some mild bitterness in the middle with more grape, prune, and a mellow acidity. Foamy on the finish reminds me of cobwebs and wet wood. Soft, tart finish. Not bad. Body is light with moderate carbonation. Foamy on the palate and goes down juicy with a lingering, sticky finish. Wish this one was a bit more refreshing.
This one's solid but it's a far cry from the lambic style that it's emulating.
