Gimpel

Описание

Gimpel is Wappler's mixed fermentation sour beer with raspberries. Our approach to brewing sour beer leans heavily on the Belgian lambic tradition. We produce a wort from malted barley, wheat and aged hops that is full of long chain carbohydrates (including starch) that ensure a long and slow fermentation. The fermentation takes place in an oak barrel that previously housed red wine. Our microbial culture consists of yeast and bacteria from Belgian lambic. The beer is allowed to slowly ferment for over a year, after which we added 200 g/l of fresh organic raspberries. After a second fermentation, we bottled the beer with a dash of sugar for carbonation. Gimpel is German for Eurasian Bullfinch, a stocky bird that lives in the woodlands surrounding our sour beer barrels.
