Hops + Brettanomyces + Hops
The exploration of yeast strains and the different results we can achieve are beautifully exemplified in Evolver, a pale ale with a difference. 100% fermented with Brettanomyces. For the first 3 months the beer tastes the same as a fresh pale ale, then the differing flavour compounds start to shine through and after 6 months the Brett really takes hold.
The brettanomyces yeast is particularly good at keeping hop flavours fresh for far longer than traditional brewing yeasts. The Evolver takes on a more complex character over time as the yeast and the hops combine to produce a new and exciting beer that will continue to evolve as the yeast slowly matures the beer.
This is a beer that can be drunk fresh, as a normal pale ale or left to evolve and mature into a unique and unusual beer.

Bottle. Kept for 2 years. I wanted to let this develop to see what would happen. Turns out it went pretty bad. Sour like, very strange after taste. Next time ill drink it quickly.

Tap at 100 piv. Lightly sour, med-high bitterness. Thin body, moderate carbonation. Med-high zesty, moderate lemony grassy, light spicy phenolic character. Bretty barnyard is lightly present. Satisfyingly complex, juicy. Tasty and interesting. Quite good.
