A Measure of What We've Lost

A masterwork of patience and craft from Cloudwater's acclaimed Barrel Project. Using a traditional carbonic maceration technique borrowed from winemaking, 2.5 tons of Chuckleberries — a beautiful hybrid of redcurrant, gooseberry and jostaberry — were gently broken down and left in a foudre to co-ferment with 2,500 litres of Wild Ale for two full years. Lavender and vanilla were then added to emphasise the beer's natural complexity.

The result is extraordinary: huge citrus, lavender and peppery aromas intertwine with fresh berries and sweet citrus fruit. The sourness is bright and smooth, elegantly rounded with vanilla. Delicate, refreshing and crisp with a lavish balance and breathtaking drinkability. Made with time and love at Cloudwater.
