Méthode Traditionnelle

ABV:  7%
Format: 375ml bottle

FUNK. RED POMME FRUIT. WOOD.

Batch #5 of our Méthode Traditionnelle (M.T. III) is here! This blend of one-, two-, and three-year-old spontaneously fermented ales was produced in San Diego county and is inspired by the Belgian process of making traditional lambic. California-grown pilsner malt and raw, unmalted wheat create the foundation of this blend, which was inoculated solely by wild yeast and microorganisms indigenous to the Miramar area and Mt. Laguna during a Pure lambic camping trip. Warm-aged hops added to the boil provide aromas of barnyard up front, with red pomme fruit and grapefruit expression close to follow. Tastes of funk, tart dark cherry, and toasted wheat bread practically dance on your tongue, followed by a smooth and refined finish that is both unique and refreshing.
