There are always exceptions to certain rules and this beer is the case. Head High should always be consumed fresh…except for when its going to be aged in a bourbon barrel. The four to six month period this beer spends in a barrel softens and rounds out some of the bitterness you get from this beer fresh. The citrus and grapefruit aroma from the dry hopping fades and is replaced with more subtle notes of pine and vanilla. Earthy and woody flavors from the barrel are easily picked up by the pale malts and oak tannins give this beer a more substantial mouth-feel. ABV: 7.5%
