Wildflower Brewing & Blending - Ambrosia: Amaro 2023

Ambrosia: Amaro 2023 is the third cuvee in a series of beers taking inspiration from the herbs, fruits and spices used in apéritifs and digestifs. This 2023 version was made with a barrel aged base beer brewed with gentian and wormwood in the kettle. This was married with stemmed and destemmed morello sour cherries and freshly pressed Pinot Noir skins from M&J Becker in the Hunter Valley NSW. Luke's tasting notes - Lifted vinous aromas of strawberry and raspberry alongside funky oak and dark spice. High notes of plum and toasted bread add a lovely complexity. Subtle yet engaging palate. Restrained flavours that slowly grow. Red fruits initially before a structured mid palate showing oak and stemmy herbal flavours. A savoury palate amplified by the negroni like bitterness that cleans the palate
