Beer Details
Glass is our series of beers characterised by a delicate minerally flavour, fresh kettle-hop aroma, and the addition of sea salt in the blending tank. This is our fifth iteration. A well timed release with the sun shining down on our most sunny-weather beer.
This is the same brew that produced our fourth iteration of Glass, but this release has spent a further year in barrel. It has gained a little more wood character and funk, while remaining remarkably light and fresh.
In July 2022, we produced an extra pale wort using Czech pils, chit malt, and flaked maize. This combination gave wild yeasts the ingredients to make a delicately flavoured, yet relatively full-bodied beer. Fresh East Kent Goldings hops are added throughout the boil to build sweet and floral aromatics. Bittering acids in the hops add a little bite to keep the finish of the beer fresh. They also restrict the amount of acidity produced by the wild lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. The wort spent a night in our coolship, before fermenting in an ancient oak puncheon that previously held both West Country cider and Caribbean rum. It was selected to be used for Glass due to its fresh summery aromas, restrained acidity and clarity of flavour. A touch of Cornish sea salt was added into the blending tank to enhance crispness of finish. It was then conditioned in bottle for four months prior to release. The finished beer is about as delicate and fresh a beer as we can produce.
