Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Wicked Weed Brewing Lusus Naturae
Brettanomyces Wild Double IPA. I picked this bottle up at Stella Brew (here) in Winston-Salem, NC.
They have an excellent selection and we’re very helpful helping me pick out
some local “must have” beers to bring home. If you find yourself in the
area stop in, buy some beverages and tell them that Mark from NorCal Beer Blog
sent you!
Commercial description: “Lusus Naturae is a dry, North
Carolina Double IPA brewed with thoroughbred Riverbend Malt and 30 lbs of fresh
off-the-vine Cascade wet hops from Echo View Farms. It is dry hopped with over 3 lbs per barrel
and finish with our house Brettanomyces strain. Drink this hoppy goodness fresh
or lay it down to bring out the Funk.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a light golden orange with a slight bit of haze, a thin white head and spotty
lacing.
Aroma: Tropical
fruit, citrus, grainy sweetness, biscuit and a slight scent of Brett funk.
Taste: Tropical
and citrus hop flavors, some mango, biscuit malts, some sweetness and Brett
funk.
Overall: Easy
drinking, Wicked Weed Brewing Lusus Naturae Brettanomyces Wild Double IPA
is delicious. This 8.4% ABV offering was
nicely bitter, juicy with a dry finish. Highly recommended!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
