Wild beer for starters, not bad but a bit thin and bland

Verdant Now We Are Here (8%)
Was going to have something a little lighter but got stung by a wasp when I tried to get in the garage. This is fantastic though.
Since my last post I‘ve had one or two 
pints of my “best” bitter. Did I say that already or just think it? I don’t remember 
Happy Saturday everyone!

A small haul from the local craft beer shop, a few days worth here probably as theres a few strong ones
First up the Vocation Hop, Skip and Juice - good choice for a thirst quencher
This looks interesting, the Pastore brewery in Cambs only uses wild yeasts I hear. Had a sour before but not a weisse so should be a but different

The weisse? I actually thought about this one for a change.... well, it smells like yeasty cider apples, tastes dry and sour very much like a dryer cider and a bit of sweetness, and mango of course which is balanced, not overpowering. A lingering wheat beer aftertaste that's actually quite nice, and a bit live yogurty as well
7/10 from me, very good, different and quirky. I'll certainly try another when I see them come up. I'd say it could be sessionable if you were into them unlike a sour, but for me still more of a now-and-again beer.

First taste of a cider I made in May, Lidl cloudy apple juice and Brett Brux. Bottled about a month ago.
Pretty tasty with an interesting balance between the sweetness of the apple but that drying sensation from Brettanomyces. I think it’s still got some changes to go through; I didn’t use any pectolase as Brett can metabolise pectin and as you can see it’s still very cloudy. Be interesting to see where this is in another say 3 months.

Yes, hopefully bottling tomorrow...I must say for a bitter the fermentation was messy...
On the Equinox now - did I say that already? Jesus, I’m loosing it today!
Mine was clean and easy, probably the dodgy changes you made!!
BTW I have a stout and bitter packed to send on Monday.
