On a cold and rainy April day in 2018 we brewed an Amaro-inspired sour/bitter beer together with the three brothers of Pen Druid Brewing (Virginia, USA). We added gentian root and Sicilian oranges to the coolship overnight, before barrel-aging it for fifteen months. Bottled July 2019.

Pours a clear amber color with a bigger head, soon receeding to a bigger sheet of lacing atop the liquid.

Smells of funky and cheesy basement together with some dried hops and a prominent floral garden aroma.

Drinks light, refreshing due to its prominent, yet soft appearing carbonation. This opens up the palate for a plethora of sublte flavors, creating a perfectly well balanced beer.

Tastes of a surprisingly complex barnyard funkiness, setting the bar for this straight from the beginning, exhibiting leather, mushrooms, stale water and a present tartness together with blue cheese. Offers a suddenly appearing bitterness of herbs and orange zest, blending marvelously well into the sour aspects of the beer. Finishes even fruitier with an enhanced funkiness and maintaining bitterness, creating an unforseen flavor intensity, which stays long into the aftertaste of this.

This drinks like an unbelievably complex lambic with a distinct, well working bitterness to it. The beer features a perfect balance on top, making this easy drinking while featuring an intriguing flavor complexity.
