Inspired by his production methods, we took multiple mash rests, and techniques for extracting maximum weizen yeast character, and combined this with our methods of hop utilization and regiment. While more reserved than our more recent IPAs, this hop load was much larger than Tentsu-san would use. This was a great beer to push both of us a bit outside our comfort zones, and we went on our side with a hop blend of Talus, Audacia, and New Zealand Cascade hops. Inspired a little by a fantastic dry hopped hefeweizen our head brewer James experienced in Munich, this blend of hops seamlessly transitions you from the strong fruity yeast esters up front to delicate flavours of wild flowers, white grape, and citrus. Drinkability was a focus here, and the difficulty was balancing the hop load without overpowering the yeast character. This was a very fun collaboration that was truly a combination of one another's expertise and philosophy. We think the beer turned out quite beautifully, and hope you feel the same.
