But wait... what does that mean?
First off, we do not add laboratory cultured yeast to ferment our beer. We simply cool the wort naturally in a coolship. Amazing yeast & microflora are all around us! That's why we're in Tillamook!
After the wort cools, we transfer everything to oak barrels (some big, some small, some medium). Each beer takes it's own time in barrels to finish fermenting.
Most of our beers take anywhere from 6 months to 5+ years in barrels before we package them.
Every bottle is naturally conditioned and ready to be enjoyed when we release it. Although the beer can age, please note the fruit and hop additions will dissipate with extended time.
But most importantly, we hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Bottle courtesy of Magnus (non-RB). Pours slightly hazy dark brown with a small frothy beige head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sour and slightly malty with dark bread, toasted cereal, lemon juice, sour milk, moist hay, moist buttery wood, raisins and lemon zest. Taste is sour and tiny malty with dark bread, lemon juice, sour milk, moist hay, buttery wood, cocoa powder and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is dry, tart and medium bodied. Finish is sour and tiny malty with dark bread, lemon juice, sour milk, hay, buttery wood, cocoa powder and lemon zest. All citric and lactic sour brown. No vinegar. Interesting but a bit one-dimensional…

On tap at Saraveza for the 5th IIPA fest, pours a cloudy faded yellow blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots on lemony notes, with wheat, and a touch of sugar. Flavour is similar, with notes of lemon, candied sugar and wheat. Not very tart at all and kind of sweet for the style. Interesting stuff. Good for a hot day like today.
