Being Belgian style, with T58 you get high fruity esters mingled with bold, cracked pepper. A final dose of US05 crispens that fruitiness so it drinks like an American IPA but cloaks you in a warmth reminiscent of Trappist tripels. We've matched bolder Belgian yeast character with DIPA-doses of choice Slovenian hops. Cardinal gives mushed banana and pineapple aromas. Wolf gives a spicier, vibrant nose of anise and lemongrass. Combined, this beer drinks with candied fruit flavours: dried payaya over commonplace currants, and comforting hot-cross bun spice.
