Te Rheum

Tap to rate

Te Rheum is the brewery's ode to rhubarb, the crimson queen of the garden: a tart wild ale in which fruity acidity plays in harmony with the wild character of the base beer. Just a hint of sweetness balances the intensity of the rhubarb and leaves you wanting another glass. Like the brewery's wild ales in general, the beer matures in barrels for six to nine months.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tart rhubarb character—bright, slightly vegetal, and pleasantly astringent. Beneath this, wild fermentation esters emerge softly, mingling with subtle stone fruit notes and a whisper of funky barrel complexity. The overall impression is fresh and garden-forward, with no aggressive vinegar or horse-blanket notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately tart and sour, the rhubarb providing a linear acid line that animates the palate without harshness. Mid-palate expands with berry complexity and a gentle funkiness from wild yeast, balanced by a restrained sweetness that prevents the acidity from becoming one-dimensional. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the fruit and fermentation character to dominate.
