Working Title Where The Wild Things Are - Girraween Spon Mixed Culture Can 4pk

When Dan Pedler got in touch, out of the blue, I was cautiously optimistic about his locally harvested Spon culture. Caution was thrown to the wind when he brought in some samples. It was obvious that he had captured something special. I was taken aback when all he wanted was to get this to the people, and allowed us to play a part in that. So here it is, captured one cold but faithful mid-winter trip, by Dan, to Girraween. A full batch, barrel fermented and allowed to develop for one year.

Soft and delicate, unlikely anything we’ve tried before. Stone fruit, marmalade jam and petunias on the nose, with a full textured body that belies the low finishing gravity. A tart more than sour finish keeps it refreshing and moorish. Funky but flavoursome, the first commercially packaged wild beer from a Queensland source.
