ParrotDog Microflora Specimen A Boysenberry Sour (500ml Bottle)

Description

Specimen A begins with a very pale malt base that includes a touch of wheat, acidified by strains of Lactobacillus. A saison yeast then ferments the beer down dry (and adds a hint of spice) before we add a heap of Nelson boysenberries - a surprisingly-recent hybrid of various berries from the Rubus genus with a tart fruit flavour and striking maroon hue.

Tasting Notes

Sour/Wild Ale

Sour ale is a broad spectrum of wild ales, from the fruity and acetic Flanders Red Ales and Oud Bruins, to the experimental ales gaining popularity in the United States which use lactobacillus, brettanomyces and pediococcus in new and wild ways.
