"This is a new blend, created to capture the remarkably light and fresh citrusy character we find in some of our older barrels. It was made from a blend of pale beers, consisting of 2 barrels of 4 year old beer, and 2 barrels of 3 year old beer. The barrels making up the blend were selected for their combination of bright citrus acidity and balancing deep funk, to produce a complex yet elegant summery beer. The finished blend was dry-hopped with fresh whole-leaf Czech Saaz hops, for their wonderful noble aromatics, along with a touch of US Citra to highten the lemon/grapefruit notes of the fermentation. Bottled straight from the dry-hop tank to capture as much of the hop as possible, the finished beer then conditioned in bottle for 5 months."

"Today XO is a a blend of solely three year and older barrels. This is its third iteration. This beer is made from three brews, fermented in three different barrels. The worts were made in January, February and April 2020 using traditional turbid mash methods. They were subsequently left in our coolship overnight to be inoculated with wild yeast and bacteria, before being fermented in oak. The resulting beer underwent extended bottle maturation before release."
