Besk Bitter

Описание

Ale made with native-WA sandalwood, NSW-grown whole cone Fuggle hops, gentian root, wormwood and all organic NSW-grown grains. Brewed in collaboration with our besk mates, Besk.When this Perth based bar, bottleshop, hospitality powerhouse explained the etymology of their name, deriving from the Danish word 'besk', as a flavour descriptor meaning a taste somewhere amongst the sharp, bitter, tart spectrum, the ideas for this beer came together.Brewed in March 2023 we blended botanicals and native tree-bark in the boil with a traditional UK-hop to lend the beer a character befitting of not only the Danish word but also the classic English beer style with which the name treads so closely to. Fermented with our house culture, a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers in NSW, and aged in barrel before bottling, this ale picked up a small amount of acidity to bring a lovely energy to the table.At 4.8% and with a balanced menage of the botanicals, sandalwood and Fuggle hops, it's suited for a sipping on all day... the bitterness bringing a refreshing, thirst quenching character while the acidity keeps a vitality and energy intrigue.
