Ghosts in the Forest
A blonde sour that puts the complexity of Brettanomyces and oak up front. It slumbers for 18 months as a blend from the brewery's oak foeders and a few select French oak barrels. The foeders were new, so the brewers had to be patient while the oak did its work; Tomme Arthur says three more vessels have since joined them to create their own 'forest'. 6.1% ABV.
