DEN Yuzu Zest Wild Yeast Kimoto "Unbridled"

From Den Sake Brewery:

This expression brings together two ingredients grown by famers we work with: shizen saibai mai 自然栽培米 (naturally farmed rice), grown without pesticides or fertilizer, and pesticide-free yuzu.

Wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria native to our brewery carried the fermentation beyond what we had planned, lending tartness and taking it somewhere we had not imagined. 

Only the yuzu zest is used, its brightness meeting the untamed acidity. 

Made from these ingredients and shaped by what lives in our brewery, it found its own way. Unbridled.

10.5% ABV

Rice Varietal: Calhikari (90% remaining)

Rice Grower: Park Farming Organics (Meridian, California)

Yuzu Grower: Hatake Farm (grown from seeds originating from a yuzu farm in Kochi, Japan)
