Brewer Description: (from bottle) This particular quest for a dream beer explores a thoughtful and delicate expression of seasons and locality through a sensitive attitude to the environment, us and the beer itself. At its core is the delicate interplay between lower alcohol content, local organic ingredients, and a subtle touch of fresh seasonal fruits or hops. This blend consists of mixed fermentation beers aged in oak barrels for over two years accompanied by ever so subtle touch of fresh local pears. This rustic beer with a sense of time and place is ready to be enjoyed here and now. Best shared in good company. Na zdravi! Jiří.

Taste: Lightly sour and tart, a touch of funk, wet wood, lemon zest, and a touch of pear.

Overall: Light and refreshing with good flavours. If there was more fruit, I probably would’ve liked it even more.
