Hermit Thrush Cassis [CASE]

Sour golden ale aged in an oak foudre for 12 months with High Goose Farm (VT) black currants, fermented with Brattleboro wild mixed culture.

We adore the rich tannin content of these local black currants, and using the native yeast which the peels carry from High Goose Farm allows us to introduce a fantastic, light-but-funky Brett profile to support the fruit. The use of fresh fruit allows our wild mixed culture yeast to shine and compliment the fruit, instead of one masking the other.
