Sour Brown Ale Aged in Oak Foeders With Raspberries

There are different tellings of the Legend of the Wild One®, much like the beer that bears its name. Brewed with wild yeast, this sour brown ale is aged in wooden wine foeders for up to eight months, and then aged again with raspberries, giving it an additional layer of tart and fragrant flavors.

A secondary fermentation with raspberries adds distinctive raspberry aroma and flavor and another, subtle layer of tartness.

Bottle at share. Amber with some reddish tinge, small airy head. Big berry aroma, with hints of the brett coming through, some funk, some tartness. Tartness moves up front in the taste, with the raspberry coming in next, tart and dry.
