Exilis Dry Hopped: Mandarina Bavaria – 4x16oz cans – $15
Exilis is our Berliner style weisse, brewed using a traditional 3 part decoction using the thin part of the mash for the final decoction. The hops are added during the first decoction. Unboiled, the beer then sits in the coolship overnight. The next day it is transferred to the open fermentation tank and pitched with some house yeast, making this a “semi-spontaneously” fermented ale.
Dry Hopping Exilis right after primary fermentation adds a unique twist by not only imparting flavors & aromas from the hops but also by slowing down the activity of the souring bacteria, allowing the beautiful wheat beer esters to stay around longer. 3.8% abv.
