Ale de fermentação mista BA, maturado com bagaço de marmelo japonês. 6%
Espontâneo na sua criação, o nosso vizinho e produtor de sidra Æblerov ofereceu-nos bagaço de marmelo japonês acabado de prensar. Selecionámos imediatamente um conjunto de barricas da nossa adega e deixámos a cerveja e o marmelo a marinar durante dois meses antes de ser engarrafada!
The tartness from the quince pomace cuts through the funky ale perfectly, and the 6% ABV keeps it dangerously easy to drink. I cracked one open after a long yard day and it was gone before I knew it. Going to need to grab another bottle or two soon.
The Japanese quince pomace really comes through—there's this tart, floral edge that lingers long after each sip. At 6% it's dangerously easy to drink, but the mixed fermentation gives it enough depth to feel special. Glad I grabbed a few bottles to share, though part of me wants to keep them all.
Opened it on a quiet Friday evening and the pour alone was worth it—that deep, hazy amber with a gentle fizz. The quince pomace shows up as a soft, tart fruitiness that plays beautifully against the 6% ABV, and it's honestly the most interesting beer I've had in months.
