Mountain Culture Bumbershoot is a wet-hop IPA born from a three-way collaboration between Mountain Culture (Emu Plains), Cloudburst Brewing (Seattle, WA), and Wildflower (Marrickville, NSW) — brewed on the same day using freshly harvested Ella hops to capture the vibrant, grassy character that only wet hops can deliver. Bright citrus, herbal notes, and that distinctive fresh-picked quality that makes wet-hop beers unmissable. The name? A playful nod to the Seattle term for umbrella — fitting for a beer born from a rainy-day conversation between brewers who clearly share the same sense of humour.
Appearance
Hazy, bright golden with a soft white head — the fresh, vibrant pour of a wet-hop IPA brewed on harvest day with freshly picked Ella hops and the grassy, living character that only wet hops deliver.
Aroma
Bright citrus and herbal notes lead a fresh, vibrant, and distinctively alive bouquet — the unmistakable fresh-picked character of freshly harvested Ella hops, captured on brew day in a three-way collaboration between Emu Plains, Seattle, and Marrickville.
Palate
Bright citrus and herbal freshness — the vibrant, grassy character of wet-hopped Ella in full, living expression, with the distinctive fresh-picked quality that makes wet-hop beers a genuinely seasonal and unmissable experience. Drink it fresh. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Serving Suggestions
Well chilled and drunk as fresh as possible — alongside grilled fish, light salads, fresh seafood, or simply on its own as the rare, seasonal wet-hop IPA it is. A collaboration worth savouring. Bumbershoot optional.
