APOCOLOCYNPOSIS
"FEAR OF TURNING INTO A PUMPKIN"
SOUR FRUIT ALE
COLLABORATION WITH MONKISH BREWING COMPANY
ABV: 4.3%
IBUs: 15
TIME IN OAK: 7 Months
HOPS: Celeia, Fuggle, & Willamette
GRAINS: Pilsner Malt, Wheat Malt, Flaked Oats, & Acidulated Malt
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Blackberry Puree & Lime Concentrate
LAST RELEASE: March 2019
Our second collaboration with Los Angeles’ Monkish Brewing Company. Apocolocynposis was aged in oak for a total of seven months. Blackberry Puree and Limes were added in the last two months of aging, giving this ale flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and vanilla, that slowly fade with a tart lime touch.
You will be assimilated.
Driving around the country in a Winnebago with a sleeve of coasters, and a growler machine, one sees a lot of weird things.
Weird things of the kind that initially prompted this utilitarian uniting of super wonder twin powers.
Need a strainer gasket? Larger diameter drain tube on that kettle? A better spray nozzle for that hose, or input on how to rid your life of that messy, dangerous, diverter panel?
We are here for you. You will be assimilated.

Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) A rather dark red pour with a small pale pink head. Notes of tart to sour red berries, blackberry per se not obvious, some zippy lemon-lime citric acidity and zest, wet JP funky overtones, a bit floral, yeasty. Light to moderate fruit sweetness, somewhat sour, with a fairly dry and slightly mineral finish. Lightish body, fairly soft carb, crisp and refreshing. A bit of a palate cleanser, the adjuncts are rather softly expressed and it's a little thin but goes down very easily.
