ARTWORK BY JAMES ROSS

BLACKCURRANT, RASPBERRY & REDCURRANT SOUR
6.3% ABV
SEASONS CHANGE

Treat Yerself Silly is a strong, sour beer heavily fruited with Perthshire blackcurrants, raspberries and redcurrants. Brewed as a big happy 10th birthday gift to the much loved Redmond’s of Dennistoun, Glasgow.

Treat yourself with bundles of frothy Petit Filous nostalgia abed a pillowy-sweet pale ale. Jammy, nippy and tangy this wee stubby is a perfect aperitif or desert. 

An oaty Maris Otter base was built up by Plumage Archer, Melanoidin, medium crystal and dextrin malt. All amounting to a smooth, caramel and slightly toasted taste. A lactobacillus plantarum culture soured the wort to a pH of 3.4 and a very small amount of Endeavour and Admiral hops were added to complement the brambles. 

With 285 grams of fruit per litre of beer this is Dookit Brewing’s fruitiest release to date. However this is no smoothie of a beer: a long conditioning period allowed for a crisp medium body. Expect mostly blackcurrant and raspberry with an undercurrent of redcurrants, which add a subtle savoury edge. 

Happy 10th birthday Redmonds! And a big hats off to James Ross, the talented artist who created an out of this world scene for the label.
