About this beer
This is the 10th of 36 labels we have from Jackie O's Pub & Brewery. It is one of 5 kettle sour (other) labels approved in December 2019. Its label was approved 16 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“Reaching new heights of honey character, this special batch of Hive Five Reserve was brewed, fermented, and bottle conditioned with one of our favorite local delicacies. We started by brewing our oat saison with vibrant orange blossom honey in the kettle, then it was laid to rest in oak barrels for 25 months where it fermented on loads of local wildflower honey. To naturally carbonate this alluring beer, we primed each bottle with even more wildflower honey. We hope you enjoy the smooth depth and decadent complexity of this boundary-pushing offering from the Brewpub.”
