The uncompromising farmhouse purists at Tasmania’s Two Metre Tall are throwing down the gauntlet to the wine world with their extraordinary Sour Pumpkin Ale. Crafted from a fifty fifty split of malted barley and whole pumpkins grown just down the road in the Derwent Valley, this wild fermented masterpiece completely flips the script on what a vegetable can do. It is a complex, symphonic blend of multiple seasonal "vintages" aged individually in oak barrels before being married together. It pours a rustic, warm amber orange hue with a soft effervescence. On the nose, it hits you with earthy roasted pumpkin, rustic oak, and a beautiful farmhouse funk. The palate is light bodied yet remarkably textured, balancing savory, subtly sweet squash characteristics against a sharp, clean, and vinous natural acidity. Intentionally built for the dining table, it's an eye opening, bone dry sour ale engineered to pair brilliantly with restaurant quality food.
