Kauri by Wanaka Beerworks is a captivating sour/wild beer that takes you on a unique flavor journey. Infused with the distinctive essence of kauri wood, this dark brew boasts a refreshing sour edge that complements its rich chocolate and coffee notes. The wort is carefully filtered to 11 plato, and a 20 IBU bitter hopping adds depth and balance to the profile. Bottle-conditioned for an extra layer of complexity, Kauri is best savored at a cool 68°C, allowing the interplay of flavors to shine.
