Barn Owl No. 1
Barn Owl No.1 marries barrel ageing with wild yeast in a beer that balances tartness against honeyed warmth. The nose opens with candied apricot and soft Brett funk, layered with ginger and warming spices that linger. On the palate, moderate acidity brings bright, juicy notes echoing tart cranberries, carried by a medium body that feels substantial without heaviness. The off-dry finish lets those tart impressions fade slowly, leaving a gentle warmth—a beer suited to quieter evenings when you want complexity without aggression, or as a palate-refresher after richer fare.
