Elaborative Five was brewed March 2014 with our friend Brad Clark of @jackieosbrewery... A simple wort with wheat, oats and aged hops was slowly cooled under the Greensboro night sky with whole leaf Amarillo hops and rooibos tea. Fermented entirely in oak barrels, the beer was allowed to evolve and establish its own unique character, one that represents the lively, enduring relationship of this collaboration of friends and nature.

On tap at FoFA 2018. This was probably my second favorite beer at the festival, just behind SARA Residency 1. Had been wanting to try this one for a while and it did not disappoint. I hope we'll see more spontaneously fermented beers from HF in the future.

Bottle on the RBSG bus. Cloudy orange/golden body, small but substantive white head. Complex aroma: citrus, tea, wood, honey and the general sour funk. taste brings these all together into a sweet blend, with a fair amount of pucker. Lightweight, but memorable.
