Cellador Ales Trueborn Wild Ale (750ml)

Crafted in California and born from a creative collaboration with The Bruery, Cellador Ales Trueborn Wild Ale is a complex and elegant expression of experimental brewing. Fermented with mixed cultures and aged in oak, this wild ale embraces the unconventional, bringing together foraged chanterelle mushrooms, floral jasmine, and pink peppercorns. Finished with a natural conditioning process using local orange blossom honey, the result is a farmhouse-style beer with depth, balance, and a distinct sense of place.

At 6.9% ABV, Trueborn opens with aromas of rustic grain and saison yeast, brightened by jasmine's perfume and lifted by a subtle peppery spice. The palate carries through with layers of umami from the chanterelles, delicate floral notes, and a soft honeyed sweetness. A touch of butterscotch and mineral tension emerge on the mid-palate, making each sip evolve with surprising intricacy.

Trueborn isn’t just a beer—it’s a milestone. It celebrates the full-circle moment between Cellador’s roots and its future, anchored in that first homebrew competition win by Kevin Osborne. Best enjoyed chilled and slowly savored, this wild ale rewards thoughtful drinking and conversation, reminding us that great things often begin with humble beginnings and bold ideas.
