House Wit
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

House Wit is an experiment in barrel fermentation with non-wild beers. We took a simplistic Witbier grain bill and tossed in a bunch of aged whole leaf hops. Instead of fermenting in a stainless steel fermenter, we pumped the wort directly into freshly dumped French oak red wine barrels and pitched our favorite Witbier yeast strain. Clocking in at 4%, this unspiced clean Witbier exudes vinous character both in the aromatics and on the pallet. Beautiful notes of clove, bubble gum, cheesy/funky/earthy hop character, and a refreshingly moderate carbonation level. We love non-wild barrel fermented beers and look forward to experimenting more with these.
