Wildflower Brewing & Blending Zibeerbo

Zibeerbo is a golden barrel-matured Australian Wild Ale aged with Muscat of Alexandria (Zibibbo) skins after six months in terracotta amphora from our friends at Brash Higgins, McLaren Vale SA.

Instead of marrying fresh fruit and aged beer, we blended the pressed skins out of the amphora, after that 6 month fermentation/ageing in clay with both barrel aged Gold and some young Gold. The beer then aged and slowly fermented, getting drier for 4 months in contact with the skins. We bottled this blend on 16 December 2020 and allowed it to travel through maturation and natural carbonation in bottle for 16 weeks.

Upon release, it's nose is reminiscent of sweet pineapple and melon balanced by lifted lemon sherbet and sweet candy. Gentle skinsy spice gives wonderful lift. The palate carries the pineapple motif with bitter orange fruit, layered with gentle phenolics and tempered acidity create a lovely harmony. Flavoursome and familiar.
