Farmhouse Pale + Gooseberry + Zingy

We thought we would be able to make this beer exactly how we wanted...
The "all-day" wild beer, tart and fruity, but well-hopped and drinkable. We have been chasing this beer since we started the brewery and love this combination.
Juicy, tart gooseberries and our own culture of wild yeast from local orchards give this a gentle acidity. Whilst a generous "dry-hop" of complementary hops enhance the fruitiness and give a light but moreish bitterness.

2.2
Pingaware (214) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2020
UPDATED: MAR 2, 2020 33 cl bottle (BBD 2020-01-12), bought from Wild Beer's online store and drunk at home 2020-02-24. Appearance is a hazy pale gold with a thick dense white head that disappears very quickly. Small amount of visible carbonation. Love the colour, wish the head had stuck around longer - looks a little forlorn without it. Aroma is a lot fainter than I expected. There's a hint of gooseberry up front with banana ester hints behind it, but there really isn't much. Maybe hints of honey and grape too? Disappointing - I wanted lots of fruit coming through on the nose. Taste is similarly underwhelming. A grape/gooseberry flavour up front followed by a little bit of a sour kick which fades to some elderflower notes quite quickly. All finished off with just a hint of banana esters on the finish. Needs more punch with either the fruit or the sour (or both!) Palate is okay. Light-bodied, which actually plays well with the fruit, and nice and juicy followed by a creaminess from the yeast. Very little in mouth carbonation though and a too short finish. Overall, this is very disappointing. Feels like it misses the mark - drinks much like a mediocre session saison rather than the fruity zingy saison promised.

FACambridge (1452) - Chelmsford, Essex, ENGLAND - FEB 14, 2020
UPDATED: FEB 14, 2020 Aroma : Sour gooseberry...and wet dog! Taste : Sharp sour gooseberry punch with acidic citric bitter bite. If you like sour beers it might be for you. My days experimenting with sours are definitely over - Horrible!

3.4
dantomlinson (1454) - Blackburn, Lancashire, ENGLAND - JAN 31, 2020
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2020 Clear yellow appearance. Aroma is grassy and citrus. Flavour is tart, grassy, citrus and hops.
