Funksloth

Tap to rate

Puckering sour notes of white grape, Granny Smith apple and under-ripe apricot meet oak and a good dose of house funk, finishing crisp and dry. This farmhouse ale ferments for more than a year in a foeder, using regionally sourced barley and a wild-captured house culture of yeast and bacteria. 6.3% ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive funky farmhouse character—earthy, slightly musty notes from the house culture and oak aging. Bright citrus notes of white grape and Granny Smith apple emerge beneath, accompanied by subtle under-ripe apricot. A winey, yeasty undertone rounds out the bouquet, suggesting the extended foeder aging and wild fermentation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with puckering sour acidity balanced against a dry, crisp body. Tart apple and citrus notes dominate the mid-palate, with subtle oak integration and a persistent farmhouse funk that evolves throughout the sip. Low bitterness (25 IBU) allows the fermentation character and fruit to shine, finishing bone-dry without residual sweetness.
