100% BRETTANOMYCES FERMENTED BRUT IPA DRY-HOPPED WITH ARIANA
Our OverWorks cellar reveals the best of both worlds in this Brut IPA/Bretted Saison hybrid. Instead of Champagne yeast we've fermented this beer with our house culture of Brettanomyces to balance bone dry hop highlights with our signature funk. Dry-hopping with Ariana gives massive aromas of currants, vine fruit and citrus, backed up by floral brett expressions.
This is nothing less than Brut IPA redefined. Merciful Maverick - et tu Brut IPA?

Аромат легкий и приятный, сразу ощущаеться газация и дрожжи как будто от шампанского. Цедра на первом плане, лимон и грейпфрут, совсем немного специй, намеки на сено. Цвет очень светло желтый, средне мутный, пенка хорошая, белая. Вкус тоже интересный, как будто немного пшеницы есть, снова цедра и цитрусы на первом плане. Карбонизация сильная, но быстро выдыхается. Уже немного фруктов есть, типо ананасов. Послевкусие снова цитрусовое, намеки на хмель и его травянистую составляющую. В целом, интересно и приятно, но не за такую цену.

500ml bottle [Minimal gusher]. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Bretty, funky, floral and herbal-grassy aroma, moderate brett flavours, some brine, mustard seed, fresh hay, petals, a touch of fermented honey, pollen, whiffs of melon. Taste is dry, tart-ish, yeasty funky, mildly bretty, slightly floral, grassy and herbal spicy, tangy, hints of brine, mustard seed, fresh hay, apricot, melon; lingering, dry, minimally waxy and soapy, finish. Watery texture, dry palate, medium to coarse, prickly carbonation. Mild bretty flavours, nice Saison aspects, minimally waxy and soapy interference; more Farmhouse IPA than Brut IPA to me - pretty decent.

500ml bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear golden colour with a big, everlasting, fizzy white head and lots of champagne-like bubbles. The aroma is Brett yeast and light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour and bitter with a crisp, dry, funky yeast, light tart citrus fruit, earthy, dry hop bitter palate with hints of sweet caramel and a long piney hop bitter finish. Medium bodied with heavy carbonation. Very nice. Made a pleasant change from a never ending stream of pale ales and IPA’s.
