Mixed Fermentation Golden Sour with Scottish Blackberries

Blended from two batches of golden sour beer, both primary fermented with different Brettanomyces strains and brewed with locally grown malted barley, wheat and oats. This blend has an average age of four months and provides berry forward, stone fruit and forest fruit aromatics. We conditioned this blended beer on 220g/l of locally grown Scottish blackberries (aka brambles).

The resulting beer has an intense red/purple hue, and aromas of a forest fruit medley. We get sweet/sour tangy, hedgerow berries, guava, jammy raspberries and some light tannin from the berry skins.
