Technically, this is neither an ale nor a lager. The base recipe is for a Golden Ale, but we do the primary fermentation with 100% brettanomyces. The brett gives it some sour notes but not as much as if it had been aged with lacto and pedio. It’s rather refreshing on a warm day!

Tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy pale yellow. Aroma is citric, with an apple cidre touch. Body is light, with a dominant sourness, yet still in balance. Hints of vinegar. Palate continues the beauty. Very nice.
