Espèce D'Épinette V3

Espèce d’Épinette V3 is a blend of two types of fermentation: first, a spontaneously fermented beer from our 2021 season; second, a beer that we inoculated with yeast isolated from Val d’Espoir honey, located not far from the brewery. The blend was then macerated with raspberries and spruce tips harvested in Gaspésie. The carbonation is achieved in the bottle using organic clover honey from Gaspésie. The ingredients come from the Quebec terroir. The beers are brewed with 35% raw wheat and 65% malted barley, and we use only aged hops during the boil.

To fully enjoy each aroma in this beer, we recommend serving it in a coupe.

The raspberry gives the beer its color, a deep pink with violet tones, hinting at a very fruity profile. On the palate, the raspberry is unmistakable! You’ll encounter the spruce tip in the finish, enveloping with its boreal notes. By mixing in the sediment, you’ll achieve a well-rounded tasting experience! Ideal storage and serving temperature: between 6 and 12 degrees Celsius.

This evolving beer gains complexity with age. To enjoy the fruit at its best, we recommend consuming it within three years of bottling. Unfiltered, unpasteurized.

*For storage, keep the bottles out of direct sunlight and upright, as acidic beers may affect the metal cap over time.

Aging potential: 5 years
