Barn Owl No. 3
Barn Owl No. 3 is a mixed fermentation farmhouse ale where wild yeast character and tartness move to the foreground without overwhelming the fruit. Brett derivatives bring honey and soft floral notes into the aroma, while the palate picks up a pleasing acidity—citrus and peach flavours emerging against that gentle sourness. The body is dry and effervescent, staying light on the tongue. What holds it together is a harmonious blend: the funky brett register, the wine-like tartness, and stone fruit all in conversation rather than competition. This is an aperitif beer, best served cool, for those moments when you want something alive and complex without heaviness.
