Sour ale aged in wine barrels with strawberries. A celebration of the summer harvest, this blond sour ale is loaded with Coastal Seascape Strawberries grown at Dirty Girl Farms in California’s santa Cruz Mountains. These delicious berries are swept by cool evening ocean breezes and drenched in warm daytime sun before being hand-picked and added to this tart and refreshing ale. Enjoy paired with classic charcuterie and summer salads.

Bottle at home. Aroma of tart fruits, strawberries, vinegar, oak, funk, wine. Flavour is deliciously puckering sour with a hint of strawberry sweetness. Body is medium. Fantastic sour ale, I just love that tart fruits/sweet strawberry combination with the puckering sourness.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aromas of strawberries, popcorn (da fuck?), tart wild strawberries, grainy notes. Taste is grainy, rhubarb, wild strawberries, popcorn again, lactic sour. Weird but pretty good.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of strawberries, brett, malt , and fruit. The flavor is sour with notes of strawberries, brettanomyces, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Aroma’s decent, but strawberry barely noticeable. Flavor’s much better than aroma as strawberry stands out more. Sour end of it’s not overdone. Quite drinkable.

(bottle) Cloudy, orange colour without any head to speak of. Vinegary, mildly peach-fruity and citric aroma. Quite sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Vinegary sour-fruity taste with notes of gooseberry, peach and citrus; lasting vinegary finish with an acidic bite in the aftertaste. Demanding. 27.III.17
