In our hunger to explore the true taste of an original IPA, we went back to the very roots of IPA: England around 1830. This beer is made with 100% ’Maris Otter’ malt and East Kent Golding hop flowers (a lot!)

Then, to monitor the development of flavours during barrel-aging the beer is bottled after: half a year; one year and one and a half year of barrel-aging (in Puligny Montrachet barrels). Dry hopped with a bit of Nelson Sauvin. For comparison the beer is also bottled without the barrel aging.

So 4 batches will be released as an experiment. I hope you enjoy a truly magnificant beer-style that was almost forgotten, but has a real revival lately.

Bottle with gold wax.
Bronze wax is 0.5 year old, silver wax is the 1 year old version.
