This beer has taken the most complicated route of any beers yet in the GMT series. The base of this beer started as a blend of hazy IPAs (“Never Enough Bass,” “The Prodigy,” and “Now You See Me”) from our other brand WCB. These beers were blended and transferred to used red wine oak barrels and inoculated with the GMT house blend of microorganisms. The barrels then conditioned for 2 years before they were blended back and packaged in conjunction . The bottles of “Resourceful Revelation” conditioned for 9 months prior to release.

Due to the high level of hopping in the original beers, most of the bacteria of the house blend were killed, leaving only Brettanomyces (wild yeast), to condition with the beer. One result of that is that the beer is not sour. With lactic and Pedio bacteria dead, there were no microorganisms to make the beer sour. The beer is quite distinct from any previous GMT blend. The aroma is Brett driven with medicinal phenolic notes in addition to lime, kiwi, and strawberries. The flavor also expresses lime, kiwi and strawberry with phenolic characteristics present but more subdued.

This beer will also likely require a bottle opener but pours livelier than “Happy Ending.” Do not disturb the bottle during storage and store upright. Do not agitate the bottle before pouring. There will always be a layer of yeast and bacteria at the bottom of these bottles that should not be poured into the glass and remain in the bottle. Pour gently and slowly tilt the angle of the bottle to prevent the settled microorganisms from entering the glass.
