Arietta is a hop-forward spontaneous beer that marks a departure from our typical mash and hopping procedures and ingredients. It begins with a grist composed of pale and crystal malts along with raw wheat. On the hot side, whole leaf aged hops were added in the kettle and fresher Connecticut-grown Cascade hops were steeped in the coolship as it was filled for overnight cooling. Originally brewed during the 2020/2021 brewing season, this batch was aged in a variety of oak barrels for two years prior to blending and finally receiving a gentle little dry hop with Cascade.
