TORONTO, ON – Bandit Brewery has announced the release of the latest in its Elements series of barrel-aged blended ales.
Elements #4 (5.5% abv) is described as follows:
Elements #4 is a blend of two fairly different beers: a classic Saison aged in wine barrels and a barrel version of our Farmed & Dangerous Saison aged with Brett and Lactobacillus, which provides this beer with its distinct funk. This second barrel’s strong Brett and oak flavours were nicely toned down by the innate sweetness and spice of the Saison yeast, resulting in a smoother and better-balanced beer. Elements #4 has strong aromas of Brett and orange peel, rich flavours of oak and a light hint of blue cheese. It finishes with a moderate dryness and a pleasant smoothness resulting from the bottle conditioning.
Elements #4 is available now in a limited run of 375 ml bottles at the Bandit brewpub, retail shop, and online store.

- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
- Greg C. is drinking an Interstellar IPA by Forked River Brewing Company at King & DufferinDidn’t really dig this. Hops seemed stale & lifeless despite it being relatively fresh, and there’s a heavy stickiness on the palate. Odd.
