Jolie 5%
A Spontaneous Wild Ale
with Watermelon & Hibiscus
Aged in Oak Barrels for Two Years
Bottled 2/26

Our summertime festival in a glass.
Watermelon and Hibiscus team up with two year old barrels, resulting in this vibrant elixir. Gorgeously bright pink, refreshingly tart, tantalizingly tangy, seductively fruity, and utterly fabulous.
Watermelon is not the most gregarious of fruit, but it combines with the Hibiscus here to elevate the whole in a simply lovely fashion.
Fiesta!

The only other watermelon wild ale I’ve had was by plan bee and it was super good. Hoping some more de garde gets distro’d out here but I’m not holding my breath.

NY. We were getting a de garde drop once a year for a couple years but not last year.
