Detroit City Distillery Gin BA Wild Ale - Our friends at Detroit City Distillery make some awesome liquid. So when the opportunity came up to age Genetic Drift in one of their gin barrels, we jumped on it. Two years in the barrel transformed this into a beautifully rustic & herbal saison! If you’ve liked our single barrel unfruited releases in the past, this will not disappoint. 7% abv - 492 bottles produced.

Bright gold, sharp clarity, thin layer of creamy foam.

Aroma is oak forward, some light funk, honeyed malt, mild citric acidity.

Tart and fruity, fresh oak notes of vanilla and dill, juniper and gin botanicals are there but very light. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, it has a light feel with fairly easygoing acidity. Overall it was good, and i’ll keep looking for other Speciation bottles as they trickle in.
