Sour IPA dry-hopped with Huell Melon, aged in Rioja wine barrels.
The Joyous Event is upon us. Our friends from IMBC collaborated with us on the beer they want to drink at their festival, a smashable mixed fermentation IPA. The team from IMBC tasted their way through the OverWorks cellar creating a blend of old and young. Sour stock aged for one year in Rioja red wine barrels was rejuvenated with a blast of fresh, Brett IPA and dry-hopped with Huell Melon to accentuate the rich fruity fermentation character.

500ml bottle from the brewery shop. Cloudy yellow with a quickly disappearing white head. Sour fruit and funk aroma flavour is surprisingly mellow with the wine barrel flavours cancelling out the sourness

Keg at IMBC '19, session 2, 04/10/19. Hazed golden orange with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is funk, herb, spruce, damp wood, citric peel, orange. Taste comprises ripe melon, mellow barrel, damp straw, orange pith, light pine, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow hop bitterness. Decent balance on this one.
