Following fermentation, we rack Amber into French oak barrels to further develop a smooth palate and express funky, tart characteristics from our indigenous yeast. We select and blend well evolved barrels for a beer with a desired malt forward character.

It's delightfully fresh and quick on the palate, this time leading with stonefruit and finishing with a citrus peel-esque bitterness.
