A blended, coolshipped spontaneously fermented beer, aged in oak barrels for one, two, and three years, married with locally grown organic rhubarb and Reine Claude plums. A harmonious and delicate expression of the local landscape and its passage through the seasons, captured in a bottle. Best enjoyed in good company! Na zdravi!

A 750ml corked and capped bottle, with a best before date of 10th January 2034. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A slightly hazy golden straw yellow colour with a one finger white head that had good retention while leaving only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Lightly tart, earthy, rhubarb, yellow stone fruit, plums, wood, with light funky notes.
Taste: Much like the aroma, lightly sour and tart, earthy, rhubarb, plum, wood, funk.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Good easy drinking as the earthy rhubarb goes well with the plums, and overall not too sour or acidic.
