Mills Brewing Foxbic Six
Foxbic Six is a masterful convergence of spontaneous brewing and traditional cidermaking. Utilizing a turbid mash and ten months of maturation in old oak barrels, this beer presents a complex tapestry of wild yeast funk and sharp, tannic fruit. The addition of Foxwhelp juice and cider lees imparts a bracing acidity and rustic orchard character, while a dry-hop addition of Barbe Rouge introduces delicate layers of red currant and summer berries. This collaboration with Tom Oliver results in a bone-dry, highly effervescent Wild Specialty Beer that balances the earthy depth of oak with the vibrant, bright profile of French hops and heritage apples.
Appearance. Straw to deep gold with a slight, persistent haze. Pours with a fine-beaded, bright white head that settles into a thin collar with light lacing. Low to moderate head retention characteristic of high-acid styles.
Aroma. High intensity and exceptionally complex. Leading with sharp, acidic apple skin and barnyard funk (hay, leather, and dusty cellar). Floral notes and distinct red fruit aromas of raspberry and currant from Barbe Rouge hops mingle with an underlying hint of vanillin and aged oak.
Taste. Immediate, sharp lactic and malic acidity gives way to a subtle, bready malt backbone. Flavor is dominated by tart green apple, cider lees, and a rustic funkiness. The Barbe Rouge hops contribute nuanced berry flavors rather than bitterness. Finishes bone dry with a lingering, cleansing acidity and a touch of woody tannin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, spritzy carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. Very low astringency, though a light tannic grip from the oak and apple skins provides structure. Very light alcohol warmth.

Description Foxbic VI is a spontaneously fermented blend of turbid wort and juice from the inimitable Foxwhelp bitter-sharp apple, revered for its laser-like acidity, raspy tannin and aromas of strawberry. This iteration was made using the turbid mash method in the style of traditional Lambic producers. The wort was fermented with the afore mentioned Foxwhelp juice in old oak barrels for 10 months.
The resulting blend was dry-hopped with French-grown, whole-cone Barbe Rouge hops before conditioning in bottle. The finished drink has wonderful poise, balancing the acid and tannin of the apple with the sweetness of the grain, cut through with farmyard funk and the Barbe Rouge wafting over the smells of summer.750ml. 5.6%
