Black Doris Sour - Oak Barrel Aged

This Belgian inspired Sour Beer is a mix of 12 and 24 month old mixed ferment, oak barrel aged ales rested on crushed Black Doris Plums, and then conditioned in bottle with fresh Brettanomyces Yeast. Store upright in the fridge for at least 24 hours before gently decanting.

Another special brew from our Barrel Bunker, this time using Black Doris Plums - a favourite of New Zealanders country-wide. We found a blend from four different barrels that we thought would match perfectly to the richness of the plums. We blended the beer in tank with the fruit and let it re-ferment for four months before bottling with priming sugar and a fresh pitch of Brettanomyces yeast. The beer itself is earthy, funky and tart with a big fresh punch of the iconic Plum, and vivid colour.
