This wild DIPA was brewed with floor malted Pilsner, malted wheat, and flaked oats. Hopped in the kettle with a heavy hand of Strata and Amarillo, with a touch of Mosaic. We began fermentation in an open top stainless-steel tank with ale yeast before aging in French oak puncheons with our mixed culture for 12 months. After barrel aging, the beer was transferred into a tank filled with freshly picked whole cone Strata (wet) hops and local orange blossom honey. The beer was left to infuse and ferment on the fresh hops for 6 weeks before bottle conditioning with more local orange blossom honey. Tropical notes of pineapple, tangerine, passion fruit, and lychee are supported by a medium body, a touch of refreshing acidity, and Brett funk.
