Silver Fern spent four months in white white barrels in the making of this Greener Futures release – it is a barrel-accented edition of Koru, a Belgian-style pale ale released earlier this year. Silver Fern pours dark gold with a tight white foam. Tropical and lemony aromas are evident, along with vinous and oaky notes. While fruity flavours such as gooseberry are dominant, there are also sherry-like notes with undercurrents of almond and hazelnut. Tannins serve to provide a dry finish.
