Wicked Weed Bombadile returns to Canvas Series

Wicked Weed Bombadile

Wicked Weed Bombadile, available once in the past, will soon return to the Canvas Series.

The base farmhouse ale has been fermented with Brettanomyces yeast, and fresh Florida grown strawberries in a French oak foeder.

The Florida forest is a fight for life from undergrowth to treetop. The woodland encircles itself, squelching sections as others grab hold and flourish. The live oak observes this scramble from its perch of power and permanence. Amidst the hurricanes and heat waves, the alligators and oranges, emerges the true crimson crown of our southern peninsula. Ripened and radiant from the Florida sunshine, the strawberry is king of this bountiful land. Bombadile is a Brettanomyces farmhouse ale fermented with a half pound per gallon of ripe Florida strawberries and delicately aged in a French oak foeder.

Wicked Weed Bombadile has beautiful artwork update in time for this return. Available in 500 milliliter bottles.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Strawberries. Oak Aged.)
Availability: 500ml Bottles
Return: July, 2016
