Inspired by the most historic of IPAs. This beer has been aged in oak with mild yeast for 3 months. We recommend leaving it somewhere cold and dusty for a while to let the funky brett work its magic.

Shared at pre-Borefts tasting, thanks for sharing everybody! Hazy amber with lasting beige head. Sour berries, dusty caramel, hay, oxidized cardboard, hay, grass. Medium sweet and light sour and bitter. Medium bodied. It's and barrel aged IPA and it's about what you'd expect but not that good.

Bottle @ Pre-Borefts tasting. Murky reddish color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, sourness, tart, brett, a bit metallic. Nah, not my kind of beer.
