About this beer
This is the 3rd of 4 labels we have from Brothers Cascadia Brewing. It is one of 41 wild / brett / lambic-style labels approved in September 2019. Its label was approved 14 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“In musical theory, the chromatic scale is constructed of every note that can be played. In this series of beers we have taken a nod to this piece of music theory. We don't restrict ourselves to the typical rules and standards of brewing, but instead allow ourselves to use every note and technique to compose the most unique offerings we can. These beers are for those who find beauty in the crescendo of originality. Cheers! In this beer we stripped back the layers and let the character of Brettanomyces perform on its own. All the other components in this ensemble fade back to give way to Brett's roaring lead. Combining impressions of citrus, floral and pepper, this tasty solo hits on all the right notes and will keep jamming in the bottle until you're ready to experience this instant classic. Culture: S. Cerevisiae, The Yeast Bay's Amalgamation Brett Blend”
