Lora Expression of Interest
Regular price $30.00
The beers which compose Expression of Interest were first brewed in November 2020, January 2021, and February of 2021.
In late September of 2021 the three components above were blended together inside another oak barrel in a ratio of 18%, 37%, and 45% respectively. Dehydrated lilly pilly fruit, gathered from around Sydney, was steeped in the resulting blend for 35 days before being taken to a packaging tank in late October 2021. Bush lemon zest and juice was added and allowed to integrate with the beer for a few days before packaging. To condition and carbonate this beer, Malfroy's Gold Wild honey was heated and caramelized until the desired texture, aroma and flavor came forward. Finally, in early November the beer was taken to bottle exclusively using this honey as its source for carbonation.
A line between bright citrus and and broad, deep and dare I say rustic country/preserved lemon is struck here. The nose is lifting with notes of lemon and pear, while a continual dark spice and dried deciduous leaf element weave and build. The palate traces the nose presenting more citrus and dried rhubarb before a nutty, rich honey note is struck and carries the finish. - Lora
