An intentionally hazy IPA.  The haze comes from massive whirlpool and dry hop additions and provides a very “juicy” expression, often associated with tropical fruit.  This beer is very hoppy, but not bitter;  all of the hops are added late in the process and provide mostly flavor and aroma to the beer.  Medium-full body and mouthfeel and comes off as very easy drinking and aromatic.

West Coast Style IPA with simple & mosaic cryohops.  Cryohops are pure lupulin glands from the hop plant, leaving the vegetal material behind.  This provides a significant impact towards improved hop flavor and aroma.

Red 5 Standing By is a Flanders Style Red Ale aged in French Oak foeders for 8 months.  Red 5 pours a reddish-brown with aromas of Oak, soft acid, and dark fruits.  The flavor is decidedly acidic with notes of tart Cherry, citrus, and subtle Chocolate.  The mouthfeel is medium with medium-low carbonation and leads to a clean, sour finish.  Red 5 has been “Standing by” with us for awhile and now it’s time to be enjoyed!

Made in the tradition of the Brewers from the Sennets Valley in Brussels, Ramblin’ Rubus is a spontaneously fermented Blonde Ale with Raspberries.  Through a turbid mash schedule using regionally malted grains, an overnight rest in our Coolship, a half trip around the sun in Oak, and a soak on Red Raspberries, has left us with a fine example of the potential of our terroir.  We are proud to pay homage to the beers and brewers that inspire us and hope you enjoy our interpretation.
