There is a beer here called Neologism, as if it were something freshly coined, but it might’ve been called Portmanteau—a combination of concepts into a unified thing that makes perfect sense.
Pale and lively in the glass, the aroma suggests pine needles, orange peels, and white wine—a heightened yet beautifully integrated expression of hops, Brettanomyces, and 16 months spent in second- and third-use gin barrels. On the palate, moderate acidity drives a lemon-lime juiciness, balanced by a soft, gentle bitterness, rolling into a dry finish—intense yet incredibly refreshing at 5.5 percent ABV, Neologism represents a successful mingling of cultures, oak, time, Cryo, and know-how.
Anyway, did you hear the one about how the Mad Fermentationist and the New IPA Guy became friends and started a brewery?
