Red currants always bring childhood memories with them. This tiny, slightly tart fruit brings back childhood memories to many of us, especially in Estonia where red currant bushes are very common in gardens. Perhaps you remember that picking the fruit was troublesome, the taste felt like nothing special but it was still fun and a part of your childhood? Today, the redcurrant has been welcomed back as one of the local superfoods.We have created something special: a mixed grain, mixed fermentation Berliner Weisse with locally sourced red currants.A grain base of 50% malted barley and 50% wheat plus a mixed culture fermentation creates a classic sour treat. The fruit was added towards the end of the fermentation of a berliner weisse base, with the macerated fruit providing extra cultures for secondary fermentation. Redcurrants are the star of the show.The aroma is fresh, tart, lemon, redcurrant and some acidity. The taste is clean, tart, red currant, lemon, candy, sherbet and old fashioned lemonade with a dry finish. Light body. Clean, crisp and tart.Just like the brewery lads’ favourite grannys homemade natural red currant juice, the humble childhood memories in a bottle.
