Description
Hi-Wire Brewing’s journey began in the summer of 2013 at their 2,700 square foot South Slope Brewery located at 197 Hilliard Ave in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District. With the 2015 opening of their Big Top Production Brewery up the road, the original Hi-Wire brewhouse is 100% dedicated to brewing award-winning sour and wild ales and one-off small batch beers.
Brewing beers with a connection to the past is important to us. We love to brew traditional styles that honor the heritage of our craft and pay respect to those who have crafted beer before us. Yet, as an American craft brewer, we are elated to participate in the culture of experimentation that has developed here.

Poured from a bottle it is a cloudy ocre color with no head; the aroma is citrus with hints of apricot and the taste is tart citrus with a bitter white grapefruit rind finish. Interesting and compellingly refreshing

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is a mix of clove and vanilla. Flavor is more of a hop presence with some pils like dry malt and a bit of fruity esters from the yeast. This beer was kind of all over the place. It kind of wanted to be a wit but then kind of branched off into a Belgian pale ale. Definitely a beer I would have again as it is flavorful on multiple levels.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a cloudy, dark amber with a dense, off-white head. Sweet caramel in the nose and a wee whiff of smoke. Rich, malty body, flowery hops, toffee and cream and again a discreet smoky note. I cannot really pick-up peat, more sort of manure. But not horrible. 040316

Bottle. Almost opaque deep brown body. Frothy tan head, diminishing. Aroma of coffee bean, roasted malt, vanilla, metal. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/creamy texture, lively carbonation. Coffee acidity and bitterness in the taste, but also a hint of cream. Enjoyable.

Pours a clear amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of piney hops, fruit and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.
