Always experimenting and expanding

We brew in small batches in our 15 barrel brewery and we’re always experimenting with new recipes. Dan and Pat ,with previous experience from the wine world, get to marry the fascination with the natural world and the art and science of fermentation.

Dan keeps cooking up some good recipes and Patrick the builder keeps finding ways to add more tanks and increase our production.

Super crisp and clear golden coloured body with a very large and billowy off-white and creamy head, about five to six centimetres tall, that says afloat for a long time. Aroma of grass, grapefruit, flowers, citrus, hay and a lot of fresh and dry wheat on the tail end, with some alcohol noticeable as well. Light-bodied; Sharp, very dry malt and wheat notes with a lot of citrus, grapefruit and floral notes, with no residual sweetness at all, just the dry and crisp notes with only a tiny bit of malt for support. Aftertaste is crisp, intensely dry, but also showing a lot of floral notes and some good bitterness, but not a whole lot of wheat, coriander seed, yeast or pure hop flavours - this is more about the proper (I'm not from Boston) Grapefruit and citrus flavours runing rampant with no sweetness or malt balanced either. Overall, this is still nice to try, but almost feels like a Saison or a Biere de Garde as opposed to any wheat beer or any style IPAs! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 06-January-2020 for US$5,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-April-2020.

Can split at L6, thanks to Tipple, 'Farewell New Ken' tasting 18/09/19. Almost clear golden blonde with a decent off white cap that stays for the show. Nose is bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, light caramel malts, straw. Taste comprises grass, ripe melon, bitter orange, citric tinged straw, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with lightly aggressive grassy hop bitterness. Ok old skool leaning DIPA but probs not one I'd turn to again.
