Bret IPA. Waymaker is our take on the wilder side of American IPA, brewed with classic hops, but fermented with Brettanomyces yeast. Explore new horizons as Waymaker presents familiar notes of pine, citrus, and grapefruit, rearranged in surprising ways thanks to the wild yeast fermentation. Equally expressive whether fresh or cellar-aged, Waymaker is a refreshing, yet unconventional beer for any season.

500 ml purchased at Yankee Spirits, Sturbridge. Paid $8.09. Bottled May 2018. Appearance is Reminiscent of grapefruit juice. Normally I really dig fresh Brett IPA’s. The Brett has slowly started to change this brew as it sat on a warm shelf since May. I am sure I would score a fresh example higher. Still good.

Milk and Hops, chelsea: pours golden with white head. Aroma is bretty earthiness, light fruitiness and general hops. Nice bretty bite coupled with unattenuated hops as some wild IPAs get. Nice and with plenty of flavor.

Bottle from Milk and Hops, Chelsea. Hazy yellow pour with a foamy white head. Fairly strong lace. Aroma of lemon, funk, and hay. A good bit of grass as well. Floral and spice notes as well. Tastes of funky yeast and spice, fairy herbal, good bit of lemon. Light, bready malt notes. Hops don't seem to be doing a ton here, most of the dryness seems like it comes from the brett. Medium body, soft carbonation, with a dry, tingly, lemon pledge finish.

Draft. Yeast, lemon/peach, biscuit malt, and musty barnyard hay aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with large white head. Cloudy pale yellow with huge white head. Mild sweet-sour peach/citrus, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter musty hay flavor. Nice body. Brett changes this completely - not a typical IPA.

Bottle at home drowning my sorrows late night. Not the prettiest pour that dull peach is odd but nice fluffy head. Nose is floral hops and hint of citrus. Tastes of florals, some tangerine, honey, grass, yeast. Zippy palate but thinner bodied. Tasty for sure.

It pours cloudy orange with a decent white head. The nose is fresh, funky, stewed orange, brett, spice, wood, dirt, hay and barnyard. The taste is crisp, bitter, earthy, light floral, brett, spice, orange peel, minerals and straw with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent brett session ale.
