Brewer: Hop Nation Brewing Co
Style: Barrel Aged India Pale Ale
Size: 375ml
Strength: 8.1% ABV
Locality: Footscray, VIC
Description: We aged a hop-forward IPA in bourbon barrels for two years; inoculated with a mixed culture with three strains of brett. Fresh pear juice was added for refermentation.
Lime, passionfruit and fresh pear are present on the nose, which also holds distinct hop aromas—quite unlike the fresh hop aroma of a young IPA. The palate displays an abundance of fruit with a restrained acidity.
