This Wild Specialty Beer is a masterclass in balance, merging a rustic Saison base with an exuberant addition of Somerset raspberries. Foudre fermentation and aging impart a subtle woody structure, while a blend of aged acidic barrels sharpens the profile into a mouthwatering, tart experience. The inclusion of Pink Peppercorns provides a delicate, floral spice that cuts through the jammy fruit intensity. Expect a vibrant, effervescent pour that highlights the interplay between the earthy funk of wild fermentation and the bright, zesty acidity of fresh English raspberries, finishing bone-dry and remarkably refreshing.
