TASTING NOTES

Predator Noir is a blend of foedre aged wild ale and fresh saison refermented with blackberries. Upon first sip, expect a rush of blackberry seeds, peach nectar, and tangerines before finishing with lingering traces of jasmine flowers, soft oak, and inky merlot. 

SECRET TECHNIQUE

The blending of stock Foeder beer from our Baraolo 3 Foeder (which serves as the base for the Fox in the Snow brand of beers). The potent acidity in the beer emerging from this foeder is best balanced by a heavy fruit addition. Predator Noir tamps the acidity down further with a blend of non-acidic farmhouse ale, which provides active yeast cells into the brew to ferment the sugars added by the hefty blackberry infusion.
