Collaboration with Kickin' Kombucha.
Ambrosia Reserve is a foeder-aged saison, refermented on blackberries and conditioned on ginger, lime, and roobois tea. This naturally bottle conditioned beer pours a stunning rouge with notes of juicy blackberry, red currants, perserved lemon, and rose.

Foeder-aged Saison, refermented on blackberries. Conditioned with a custom tea blend of rose hips, chamomile, lemongrass, lavender, and rooibos tea.
A: Pours a bright pink/reddish color. A dense white head forms with excellent retention and lace left behind.
S: Aroma is leafy tea leaves, berries, funky yeast, that is particularly intense, wood and light vanilla.
T: Again, this is pretty intense. Berry fruits, and jammy. Yeast like funk, wood and vanilla. There is an intense acidic sourness that lasts and lingers on forever. Which makes this a bit unbalanced.
M/O: A medium body with crisp carbonation. There are big tannins here, a combination of the tea and foeder, I would think. Which becomes astringent for me. Along with that puckering sourness. Interesting and well made, if a little too much for me to really want to come back to.
This has almost a Lambic fruit sourness and funk to it. Which I love. but think is a bit too much for the context of a Saison. The tannin quality is astringent as well. I respect what True Anomaly is trying to do here, and it is interesting. Though it doesn't hit on all cylinders with me, and I think some of their other foeder aged Saisons are better. Still, I would say give this a try.
