Tasked with creating two unique dry hopped blends, our brewers Nik and Nar went to work searching for creative hop combinations and selecting barrels that perfectly compliment these hops. The result is two drastically different, exciting blends of 1, 2 & 3 year Spontaneous Fermentation barrels that reflect the brewers’ own tastes.
For Nik’s Blend, he chose Saphir and Eclipse hops for their floral, citrus and tropical fruit character, resulting in a blend with mandarin, apricot and muscat wine flavours, with a punchy, bright acidity and a full bodied, drying finish.

Slight haze, amber, with a thin head. This has a nice earthy character, a bit of stone fruit, orange. On the palate, earthy, more of those citrusy, stone fruit notes, maybe lychee, with a bitter, woody, dry finish. I really like this one.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat sulphuric, with lots of barnyard funk, big dry-hopping, and muddled hay. Flavour has much less sulphuric content and much more tart citrusy, with light-to-moderate barnyard funk, lemon skins, and a touch of hay. Fairly cohesive despite the very low-level sulphuric aroma. Maybe not their best work, but it’s another nice blend.

750mL bottle. Pours a murky yellow-gold with a white head. Citrus, stonefruit, and musty yeast on the nose. Flavour has stonefruit, citrus, musty yeast, a bit buggy, dry woody barrels. Finishes bitter and hoppy. Not my favourite of theirs, but very nice.
