Tasting notes

A fairly low-hopped saison, refermented with wild apples from a site at Aylmerton, near Cromer. Apples were sliced up and added to secondary fermentation vessels, which restarted the fermentation as the small amount of extra sugar from the fruit was turned to alcohol and wild yeasts and bacteria worked thir magic, added a gentle lactic sourness to the finish. So the beer ended up drier and slightly more sour than otherwise, with a lovely apple note.

This beer is produced without the use of any finings, filtering or pasteurisation and it is bottle conditioned, so all the flavours of the ingredients are preserved for your enjoyment. Serve cool and avoid disturbing the natural yeast deposit if you prefer a clearer drink.
