Enchanted Grove

Back in 2021 we got together with our friends from Primitive for a collaborative Spontaneous blend that would become Enchanted Grove. ​ ​ For this blend, we chose some mature spontaneously fermented beer across three brewing seasons, with the oldest component from the early spring of 2018. A portion of this blend was also aged in large cognac puncheons. After blending, we allowed this beer to continue to mellow for an additional two years. In the winter of 2023, we sourced New Jersey grown yuzu and sudachi citrus fruits which we zested and added directly to the blend before bottling. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 58 months, making it our most mature spontaneously fermented blend to date. Enchanted Grove has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2024. Enchanted Grove pours a golden orange with aromatics of orange blossom and orange citrus with an underlying complexity of yeasty cellar funk. It offers flavors of lemon-lime soda, white wine raisins, lemon custard and apple blossoms with a well-integrated acid profile supported by high carbonation.​
