8.1% - Sour with Yuzu and Honeydew

The concept of Wabi-Sabi is hard to define. It is natural simplicity - flawed beauty - the way imperfection can make an object more compelling. Sourness produced by lactic bacteria in beer is normally considered a flaw. This beer is naturally soured and its sharp, tart character complemented with Honeydew melon and the juice and rind of fresh Yuzu. Nothing is perfect - but sometimes imperfection can be beautiful.

Kettle soured wheat, lightly salted and infused with white peaches - a delicate three way salty, sweet and sour balancing act. A little bit of white mischief in a beer where anything gose.

Brewed for Wellington On A Plate 2015.
