Trial and Ale Orange Spheres

Against all odds, high above the 49th Parallel North, a resilient and sour Sea Buckthorn bush thrives. In its harsh environment, bright orange orbs of intense acidity manage to flourish. Though often overlooked, Sea Buckthorn is more common than one might think, primarily used by the cosmetics industry for its rich Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. This particular batch was sourced from Siberia, with a level of acidity so intense it could nearly freeze facial expressions.

The brewing process, however, presented significant challenges. The high fatty acid content of the fruit rendered it insoluble, leaving half the tank overly sour and the other half just base beer. After overcoming the solubility issues, the stubborn blend was finally perfected. The resulting brew, with its citrus-like fruit quality, was worth the effort, making the struggles of production a distant memory. This beer stands as a testament to persistence, delivering a truly unique and bold flavour.
