Пиво Live Culture: Cape Wild Ale - Soul Barrel Brewing

This ale undergoes a wild culture primary fermentation in a large french oak pinot barrel and then is aged in a special mixed culture tank. This blended fermentation creates fruity and funky pineapple and pear notes, spice and dry exotic flavours. We use a blend of malts that give it grassy malt undertones, wheat malt to give it a soft body and specialty oats from Simpsons Malting to lend a sweet granola middle. The fermentation flavours are rounded out by dry hopping with chardonnay-like Hallertau Blanc and woody Bravo hops. Coastal Sage and Citronellum Pellargonium selected for us by our friends at the Cape Hope Nursery are picked fresh and contribute additional citrus and woodsy earth notes.
