Amalthaea

Описание

Amalthaea is a mixed fermentation sour ale brewed with barley, wheat and oats, fermented and aged in used red wine barrels for 12 months with a mixed culture containing Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus. After a first period of ageing, it was transferred on top of a mix of hand-picked Raspberries, Tayberries, Blackcurrants, Cherries and Strawberries from the brewer’s own garden for a further 8 months of maceration. Before bottling, we blended it back with our light farmhouse ale Seedling, to then go through a bottle conditioning process. It presents itself with a very light red colour, carrying elegant notes of berries and wood to the nose. It is dry and tart, with a light sharpness given by malic acid from the fruits.
