US-based August Schell Brewing will launch the Star of the North beer from its Noble Star Collection of specialty beers in summer 2013.
Based on the Berliner Weisse, the beer is expected to be sharp-tasting and effervescent, and is produced from the mixture of fermentation of yeast, lactic acid bacteria and brettanomyces.
The secondary fermentation process of the beer will take place in a cypress wood tank, while the beer will be bottled in hand-filled cork and caged champagne bottles.
Planned to be brewed by the Brewmaster Jace Marti, the Noble Star Collection will be fermented in a 140-barrel cypress wood lagering tank bought in 1936.
The beer will be made available in bottles of 750ml.
