Profile

Let’s dive in! This light-bodied 4.8% ale features a hazy light copper appearance below a quickly dissipating head. Expect super funky aromas with hay, horse blanket, and earth notes on the nose. A tart mouthfeel with vibrant carbonation delivers clean lemon-lime with a smooth tartness and little to no acetic values (think funk shandy.) It finishes with a clean citrus tartness that isn’t drying.

BARREL AGED

This old-world ale was aged in oak Pineau Des Charentes barrels for five months. Pineau des Charentes is a vin de liqueur, which is fortified, unfermented grape must which features a grapey character. It comes from the same area as Cognac: the mild, oceanic Charente and Charente-Maritime regions north of Bordeaux. But rather than being distilled into brandy or fermented into wine, the grapes for Pineau des Charentes are pressed into grape juice, or must, and fortified with one-year-old Cognac eau-de-vie (the term for brandy that has not yet aged for the requisite number of years to be legally deemed “Cognac”) – read more about Pineau Des Charentes here.

FOOD PAIRING

Sunshine and anything with fruit

HISTORY

Lambic is a style of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels and in Brussels itself since the 13th century. Types of lambic beers include gueuze, kriek lambic and framboise. Lambic differs from most other beers in that it is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria native to the Zenne valley, as opposed to exposure to carefully cultivated strains of brewer’s yeast. This process gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, often with a tart aftertaste.

Profile

Goji Berry Sour pours a burnt yellow in appearance (similar to a light whiskey) with a light to nonexistent head. Expect a tart and bright nose with Goji berry and pleasant graininess aromas.

A medium body with moderate sweetness (to support up the tart characteristics) delivers cleanly fermented sour notes in a Cream Ale base with fruity overtones. Notes of Nanking cherry, plum, prune, and cranberry make themselves known but Goji berry shines brightest (especially if you’re familiar with the berry.)

Food Pairing

Dark fruits, bananas, fruit crumble.

Why is this a ‘craft’ pilsner?

The newest supporting cast member of this pilsner is Perle hops, which deliver a subtle but moving floral and spicy performance alongside a cleaner bitterness. To help bring down the house, we've also brought down the ABV to 4.8% so you can enjoy multiple encores. We're confident fans of the original will applaud this new version which retains its signature full body.
