Oak Fermented Imperial India Pale Ale With Brettanomyces
Hi-Wire Brewing

Batch no. 5 on the bottle, purchased in July. Nice looking beer. Lightly hazy medium-amber color with a one-finger white head that settled quickly into a wispy lacy cap. The nose was complex and showed orange, pine, oak, and some leathery funk. The taste was funky through and through with a leathery dry mustiness. Underneath and quite present were the hoppy IPA notes I expected, as described in the aroma. The oak became prominent near the finish and left a lasting impression. Very dry and somewhat warm but not boozy. Much more of a hoppy Brett beer than an IIPA. Very interesting.
