Nothing delivers more on our promise than our mature, barrel-fermented, long-aged mixed fermentation ales. Golden, dry, with a delicate slight mineral quality and carbonated to a high effervescence in order to broadcast the subtleties in the aroma and tickle the senses. With nowhere to hide, these bottles rely on only the finest of our barrels to be included in each blend. The deep earthiness is at the core of the flavour structure. What we find most interesting about this style is not what flavours are present, it’s what is no longer there. During the long maturation period these barrels go through, myriads of interstitial and transient flavours never make it to the bottles. For example, an important contributing factor to the complex flavour profile at the end of its barrel stay, is a high hop charge with aged, debittered hops that provide a temporary protective shield of sorts for the beer, but eventually fade into other compounds unrecognizable from source. The descriptors are too many to list, and the discovery is ultimately the fun to be had in these blends. These are living ales designed to be cellared and observed and visited from time to time to see how they are changing. We hope your first visit is as rewarding as all future visits.
