Wicked Weed Malice 2017

TASTING NOTES

The underworld holds secrets beyond words. Solemn ceremony and bloody sacrifice emanate from this sacred ground, quietly cursing all who make the journey. The initiated know that blood orange and tamarind are the beating heart of Malice. The revenant pulses with the rhythm of the ancients, pumping its possessive essence into every corner of your being. Give in to the curse of Malice, and be overtaken by the demons buried deep below.
Malice is a Brettanomyces Farmhouse Ale fermented with blood orange, tamarind, lime zest, and ancho chiles. The beer is then blended with a portion of Golden Sour Ale and diabolically aged in our French Oak Foeder until it reaches terrifying perfection.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Located in West Asheville, the most recent Wicked Weed addition is this 50 barrel Production Brewery responsible for brewing and distributing their fresh beer offerings such as Freak of Nature Double IPA and Pernicious IPA. Christened in July 2015, the Production Brewery is their answer to the Southeast’s call for more of our beer. Currently, their focus is brewing and packaging our fresh beer to send to North Carolina and surrounding markets with future plans to expand the facility to include tours and a tasting room.
