Red IPA - fresh, fruity, gooseberry and citrus hop characteristics with a gentle red malt flavour to balance.

A rascal lives in us all, sometimes big, sometimes dormant, never extinct.  Our playful nature is something close to the core and too often forgotten.  Go on, make a snowman, give it some devil horns, kick it over and make a snow angel!!

This Naughty Fruity Ale was inspired by a well-known Belgian 'one-of-a-kind' speciality beer.  A sustaining drink, this complex beer will develop over time, with a further ageing in the bottle.  Our interpretation is unfiltered, unpasteurised and bottle conditioned for full flavour.  The grain bill is a balance of organic pilsner and crystal malts.  A subtle combination of hops and 'secret' fruits are combined with the native Flemish yeast strain giving a sweet bouquet and a rewarding strong drink.. Pour gently into a goblet at cellar temperature.  Enjoy in moderation, with a smile and good company.

Kerry Gray from Choice Bros. suggested a connection beer and handed us a vial of The Dirty Dozen from East Coast Yeast. 

We made a strong version of our Grisette then poured it into a freshly emptied Gewürztraminer , batch 3 a pinot gris barrel, then threw in the brett.. Barrel aged 10 months, Autobarn is more funk than sour, with winey vanilla overtones from the wood. Organic beer.

A refreshing, light, hoppy, sour and very fruity tasting beer inspired by traditional Berliner Weisse ales. 

Naturally soured by live cultures and hopped with American and New Zealand hops. Probably the closest thing I have tasted to fruit juice, that didn't contain any fruit at all! 

- It's a Juicy trip, dude.
