COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Very limited release.
As distinct from the Vintaged Soured Ale 2009 (in which the mash was soured), this ale is a finished ale that has been exposed to wild yeasts & bacteria which slowly ferment, consuming any residual sugar (not fermentable by usual brewer’s yeast) & producing natural acids, also significantly lowering the pH of the ale. This process takes considerable time & we release the ale only when we deem all characters are in balance. This ale is now 3 years old. It pours with a beautiful creaming head, is crystal clear if decanted well, and shows lovely flavour depth, interesting fermentation characters & vibrant fresh acidity. It will age in bottle for years to come.

Travlr (33887) - No fixed abode, New York, SLOVENIA - DEC 31, 2016
Bottle from Salud. Clear golden amber color, white head with solid lacing. Aroma of overripe stone fruit stored in dusty attics next to cobwebs, with sweaty animals and their blankets in the distance. Taste is softly sour apricot, peach, pear, light lemon, subtle vanilla, berries, moderate funk. Reminds of my favorite geuze. Probably my favorite beer of 2016.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2016 2015 bottle thanks to Owen! This will be fun. Pours a clear copper colour with a small white head. The nose has plenty of Stone fruits something acidic and enticing. The taste is sour and dry with lots of ripe almost old brown fruits. Dry finish and ultra drinkable. Huge thanks Owen! Sitting here with a buddy, enjoying this so can’t be too analytical but I love it!
