8.8% - Cherry Infused Spontaneous Blend

An artful blend of 2 and 4 year old 100% spontaneously fermented beer, aged in oak then refermented on Montmorency cherries from sunny Oamaru. The result is a stunningly colourful, beautifully balanced, aromatic beer with delightful tart cherry notes and a superbly dry finish. The result of a lot of hard work, and a little chance, luck and magic.

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.

Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René is this blend of old and young lambic matured in large oak barrels. It is then bottled in a beautiful champagne bottle, where another form of fermentation takes place. After 6 months, gueuze takes on a golden color and becomes a slightly carbonated and acidic beer. But because it is then stored in a cellar for a few years, it becomes really unusual. Gueuze Cuvée René is one of the jewels of Lindema's brewery. With its golden color and its beautiful sherry aromas, this is the queen of gueuzes.
