Double India pale ale brewed with lemon zest, lemon juice, and lactose sugar, and fermented in oak foudres with a mixed culture.
A forerunner of technique and component, we offer this 10th anniversary iteration of our Lemon Cello. First brewed in 2010, a sour mashed double IPA with citrus zest and lactose sugar seemed far fetched. A decade later, this reimagining represents a clever reflection of the original vision, and a fresh take on an informative sense memory.
Grassroots Brewing was the conceptual precursor to Hill Farmstead Brewery. Over the last decade it has evolved into a parallel brand and domain for creative collaborations.
Reimagining, reenvisioning, recontextualizing.

Bottle thanks to William. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with medium white head that last. The aroma is strong citrus, oak, floral, wheat. Slick body, citrus, oak, funk, light bitterness, very good.

Tap at BeerOut, Forlì, Italy. Pours medium hazy gold, with limited fine white foam. Aroma is tart, zesty, lemon cream, cereal, a little balsamic. Body is a little thick, with average carbonation. Taste is markedly sour, with some sweetness behind. Final is average.
