White Label Series #2 Citra Kellerbier | Orbit Beers London
ABV: 4.9%
Style: Kellerbier / Zwickelbier
Actively Produced
Description: It began with a meeting between an Italian and a Scot one Sunday in Oxford Circus. Between them passed 5kg of a much loved and sought after substance. Vacuum packed in shiny foil, being discreet wasn’t easy: wasn’t even an option as the magpies looked on. It was carried quickly and excitedly back to Walworth, back to the brewery and placed in a secure lock-up, ready for use at the next possible opportunity. The very next February day, the opportunity arose! A visitor arrived at the brewery from Argyll via Barcelona Beer Festival. The silver package was removed from its place of safety under cover of early morning clouds and a large quantity was weighed out into bags, filling the air with its pungent, tropical aroma. As hot water and grain were carefully mixed, and the resulting wort was then transferred to the kettle, the workers enjoyed a well-deserved morning beverage. Andrea Ladas from Fyne Ales sat and supped some Köln style beer direct from the wooden cask with his Orbit hosts before they partook in what is sure to become a future Orbit tradition: a February afternoon BBQ. Chicken hearts and Turkish peppers were flash grilled, as human hearts warmed in the surprising sunshine.
