You are so beautiful, hence your funky Brett body and tart Lactobacillus soul should be hidden deep in the jungle. Veiled in oak barrels for four months of meticulous aging, this wild beer is nuanced by primary fermentation with our Bière de Garde yeast, which flaunts its mysterious talents by exposing a myriad of fruity aromas and esters. Hence it is fitting that this untamed concoction should be Guarded By Monkeys. Read Less

Draft at the source. Cloudy golden amber color, bright white head. Aroma of dusty and peppery raw sourdough bread. Taste is funky black pepper, dusty attic corners. Delicious.
