Mixed Culture Beer with Raw Honey & Fruit - No apprehension is a simple blonde beer brewed with aged hops that first fermented in stainless steel with a blend of saison and house Brett cultures. It was then refermented with raw amber honey for nine months. We selected three barrels to blend and rack onto raspberries from Mic Klug Farm. No Apprehension has been bottle conditioning for three months. Homemade pie, light earth, expressive fruit & medium acid.

Sampled in a taster glass from draft at Half Acre Beer Company on May 19, 2019. Look is a nice bright red. Smell and taste is sweetened raspberries, some honey and a hint of earthiness. Feel is light in body.

No Apprehension is a glowing, beautiful ruby red beverage. Good clarity and while backlit it shines like a gem. A fizzy foam reaches a finger in height on the pour and crackles. The head is off white with a soft pink tinge. The head crackles down to a ring rather quickly, which is to be expected from the style. It's appetizing for sure.

The nose is loaded with clean, mouthwatering wildness. Wet stone and fresh cut straw start it off. That minerality always gets the salivary glands working. A touch of raspberry stems and seeds brightens it up a bit. Clean graininess sets the foundation with a whisper of cereal like sweetness. It's musty and brings an orchard like dewiness. This beer seems to push all the right buttons.

The flavor follows the nose. It's bright off the back with that wet stone and a vibrant yet balanced acidity. Straw and wildflowers bring up the middle with a well done brett addition. Must and cobwebby old splintered wood bring some character. Raspberries are soft and bring not only the flesh but the stem and seed astringency as well. The malt base is clean barley with a soft graininess and sweetness while the aged hops add a bit of character on the swallow. This is a well balanced, well put together libation.

The body fits the style well. There's some moderate heft at the front that's quickly consumed by effervescence and made both light and airy. It moves quickly and leaves a dry finish that continues to grow with each drink. A soft vibrant acidity remains after each sip while a touch of tannins helps the drying aspect. This beer can be slammed or pondered, your call.

No Apprehension is another fine beer from the fine folks at Half Acre. A deft hand was used to brew this concoction. There's a perfect balance between the acidity, sweetness, and the wild factor. It's approachable yet complex. Half Acre has really been knocking it out of the park with their sour program of late. Pick this guy up.
