We started with malted barley, wheat, and hot water in the mash. The wort was then hit with Nectaron and Idaho Gem hops before being sent to tank. There, it was united with a hardy ale yeast and, post fermentation, a further whack of aromatic hops.

It pours deep gold with a creamy head of foam. Expect aromas of stewed stone fruit and red berry, with lifted notes of spice. On the palate, it’s dank and fat, showing solid bitterness and a slathering of gooey fruit salad. Toffee malt goes long on the finish.
