Parkville Microbrew Festival

This is a Midwest IPA that reaches the summit of citrus hop aromas while striking a balance at the peak between sweet maltiness and hop bitterness. Vertex explores the limits of IPAs while staying ground to its Midwestern roots.

We threw caution to the wind with our interpretation of a Leipzig-style Gose, featuring complex aromas and acidic flavors contributed by indigenous wild yeast and lactic fermentation. Lemon, lime and other citrus-like qualities are balanced by the spicy character of coriander and a mineral-mouthfeel from sea salt harvested on the shores of France, resulting in a refreshing beer that was worth the risk.

Synchopathic is the combination of a refreshingly tart and acidic sour ale with robust-citrusy, fruity & floral dry-hops one would otherwise find in a pale ale, with aromas and flavors reminiscent of grapefruit, orange, lemon, tangerine, pineapple and hints of pine, giving way to a biscuity-crackery malt backbone, low bitterness and dry finish to bring it all in synch. Cheers.
