After using a Belgian yeast strain to give a good foundation on which to build, Thornbridge aged the beer in Burgundy barrels. Adding cultures of Brettanomyces, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus at set points let us sour the beer gradually over many months and give layers of flavour that can only develop over time. The rich fruit aroma and flavours compliment the sharp sourness which subsides for more malt and yeast character to come through. Lively, dry and thirst-quenching, this beer is a beer to savour; a complex and mature sour ale.
Joshua –
Amazing but intense! Certainly a departure from a common sour. The burgundy fruit notes come through in the aftertaste and really add an an appeasing finish to a strong sour
