Spontaneously fermented sour blonde ale.

In 2019, we started a lifelong project and aspiration to brew beer in the tradition of Belgian Lambic, using ingredients local to us, and spontaneously fermented with indigenous microflora. This beer is the second-ever release from that program. Turbid-mashed with Ohio-grown barley, and raw Ohio Red Fife wheat. Boiled for 3 hours with attic-aged, whole-cone hops. Cooled overnight in our coolship, and fermented in oak puncheons, with only the microflora that found its way in through the air and equipment.

Batch 2 is a blend of 2 batches of spontaneous ales, brewed in February of 2022 and December of 2022. It has been bottle & keg conditioning for months, and is now ready to share with you.

Flavor Profile: Complex aroma with wine and oak notes, slightly barnyardy aged hops, and a bright fruity note. Flavor is moderate acid, some aged hop bitterness, and wine and oak character. So much to find in this beer…it’s difficult to put into words. We’ll leave plenty of room for you to make your own associations.
