Soul Barrel Brewing Ale of Origin Oak Aged South African Sour Beer
Ale of Origin is a traditional spontaneous sour. Complex, acidity, funky, lively.
This spontaneously fermented edition of Ale of Origin is truly extraordinary. After brewing a laborious, old world turbid mash of local grains, the wort was boiled for three hours with aged hops, then cooled overnight in Soul Barrels "coolship" - a converted wine vat in the century old Sould Barrel Cellar. The open air inoculated the beer with wild yeast and bactaria from the surrounding fruit farms and brewery rafters.
The beer then undergoes a long, complex fermentation and three year aging period in large oak barrels. A careful blending of selected barrels realizes the final flavour. This method of brewing is inspired by authentic Belgian Lambic, one of the most traditional beers in the world. This beer is part of a journey to make beers with a sense of time and place that is truly South African.
This beer brings flavour notes of mango and orange, wild fruit, tart lemon acidity and yeast biscuit earthiness. Elegant honey and complex floral notes bring an uplifting midlayer, while the acidity lifts the finish, balancing the fruity esters while exciting the palate . The flavours are distinct and intesnse with complexity.
