Tasting notes

A fairly low-hopped saison, refermented with crab apples from sites at East Runton, near Cromer. Apples were coarsely pulped in a food processor and added to secondary fermentation vessels, which restarted the fermentation as the small amount of extra sugar from the fruit was turned to alcohol and wild yeasts and bacteria worked thir magic, added a gentle lactic sourness to the finish. So the beer ended up drier and slightly more sour than otherwise, with a lovely apple note.

Free from

Gluten-free and vegan-friendly. This beer is produced without the use of any finings, filtering or pasteurisation and it is bottle conditioned, so all the flavours of the ingredients are preserved for your enjoyment. Serve cool and avoid disturbing the natural yeast deposit if you prefer a clearer drink.
