Feijoa Sour - Oak Barrel Aged

Limited Edition Feijoa Sour - Oak Barrel Aged

ABV: 6.8%
Base Beer: Blend of 2 year old Barrel Aged Sour and 1 year old Barrel Aged Sour Beers from our Barrel Aging Programme
Other: Feijoas from Ōakura Farms’ Feijoa Orchard on Ahu Ahu Road, Taranaki

This Belgian inspired Sour Beer is a mix of 12 and 24 month old mixed ferment, oak barrel aged ales rested on freshly picked Feijoas from Ōakura Farms Orchard on Ahu Ahu Road, and then conditioned in bottle with fresh Brettanomyces Yeast. Store upright in the fridge for at least 24 hours before gently decanting.

Brewers Notes:
This is a real special brew from our Barrel Bunker. We found a blend from four different barrels that we thought would match perfectly to the earthy, funky tang of Taranaki Feijoas which we hand collected from Ōakura Farms’ Ahu Ahu Road Orchard. We blended the beer in tank with the feijoas and let it re-ferment on the fruit 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 Feijoa.
