Our third Elemental Series release exists in fewer than 1,800 bottles! This IPA was refermented using true Brettanomyces brux. Trois in locally procured red wine barrels. Ample time in barrels has allowed Brett. to create a deliciously funky and complex IPA exploding with aromatic notes of tropical fruit.

Our Elemental Series is the culmination of our commitment to experimentation and innovation. Available for a short time and in limited quantities, this is an invitation into the lab that you don't want to miss!

Copper-bronze with a big white head, nice lace.

Aroma of tropical hops and funk puts me in mind of a saison.

The wine barrel flavour comes through and detracts from the hops and Brett. Some interesting flavour, but it doesn't meld very well. Bitterness is assertive.., a bit too much going on.

Nice moderate body has a slight acidity and a crisp finish.
