5.8% - Deeply complex & boldly expressive, our Belgian Cherry Sour Ale pours a rich burgundy-copper & bursts with vibrant cherry fruit ester aromas, developed both from real cherries & the expressive character of traditional Abbey yeast. Tart & layered, a strong sour cherry tang leads the palate, balanced by a bright, cleansing acidity. Subtle spice notes from rye malt & the yeast add nuance and warmth, making this a perfect wintertime sour.

Juicy Quince and Apples dominate the aroma, followed closely by the blond yeast aromas making the perfect fruit bowl. A medium mouthfeel and bready malt base makes this beer stand up to its name and taste the Quince Pears and Apples all over.

4.6% - Oak Foeder Sour

Our Wild Workshop house sour, a pristine blank canvas that invites creative possibilities. Fermented with Lactobacillus and our favourite saison blend, then conditioned in an oak foeder. Muse is a complex but refreshingly drinkable sour with a soft acidity and citrus aroma. Beautiful as it is in its ‘natural state’, or as the base for exploring syrup and flavour infusions. Bottled inspiration.

Smooth, complex, and beautifully balanced, our Flemish Bruin pours a deep mahogany with ruby highlights, crowned by a wispy, off-white head. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of dark cherries, dates, and a hint of balsamic, intertwined with gentle oak and a complex earthiness. The malt base boasts notes of caramel and toffee, quickly met by a bright, tangy acidity that adds lift and vibrancy. A hint of oak lingers in the background thanks to nearly 24 moths of careful maturation. The finish is dry, slightly tart, and refreshingly clean, leaving you ready for another sip.

Perfect for slow sipping by the fire reading a leather bound dictionary, pairing with rich meats, or matching with aged cheeses

CHERIMOYA & SAGE BLENDED SOUR ALE

ABV 6.0%

Occasionally we can get our hands on some of this magical fruit. Grown in Northland, cherimoya - also known as the custard apple - has a soft, sweet aroma and delicious creamy pear like texture. We added them to a mixed-culture saison base for six months then removed the fruit and added fresh sage leaves for a few more months. This was then blended with a barrel-aged Hefeweizen for a truly unique and special brew. Aromas of sage and clove with notes of lemon and fruit-driven funk dominate with a palate both clean and bright over tart lemon zest-laden sourness and a dry finish. With so many layers of complexity, this beer will age well for 4-6 years.

Petrus Aged Pale Ale is a 100% foeder beer, aged for 24 months in our oak foeders. It has been the reference for sour beers for years. Moreover, ever since the establishment of the brewery, this beer has been used to blend with other beers to give them fresh, slightly sour flavours and aromas.

Thanks to its in-bottle re-fermentation, the Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René gives you a completely natural sparkle and froth.

The Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvee Rene  contains one-third old lambic, aged for at least two years, and two-thirds young lambic, which is at least one year old and has been matured in large oak foeders.

The yeasts and sugars in the Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvee Rene  prompt the in-bottle re-fermentation. Slowly but surely the wild yeasts will convert all of the residual sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Six months on, the result is a golden-coloured, sparkling, mildly sour gueuze.

Bear Hug is an Oud Bruin style sour, otherwise known as a Flanders Brown. It was aged for 16 months in oak barrels, before being can conditioned for a further 5 months. This long aging period allows the Pediococcus bacteria to develop the desired sourness and also results in the malt profile  acquiring some sweet sherry like flavors. A complex blend of dark malts and fruity esters, with balanced sweetness and sourness.
