Oak Infused Sour Ale with Lemon
We teamed up with Tip Top Proper Cocktails to reimagine one of their classic canned cocktails through the lens of craft beer as a part of their Kindred Spirits collaboration series. The result is one of our most unique and inventive beers to-date: Whiskey Tango, an oak-infused sour ale with lemon. This beer was created to taste like a whiskey sour, but drink like a beer.

Canned 9/19/25, drunk 4/13/26.
Definitely a big burst of floral, gin-like bitters upon first pour. This relaxes quickly to a more lemony, almost iced tea-like character. There's some sweetness anchoring it, assumedly the malt, that helps round it and give it more depth, somewhat approximating the whiskey and sour mix. Nothing weird going on, thankfully, no alcohol or too much adjunct; just very citrusy.
Bitters flavors initially, just like the nose, but changing this time to a good malt base with citrusy acidity all the while helping to balance. Not sure about the oak infusion; I don't get any of that, but it's malty, not too acidic, drying out on the finish. There needs to be some better way to approximate the whiskey in the flavor, as I don't really get that. It's more of a citrusy, lightly tart amber ale with touches of bitters character. All-in-all, unusual and not wholly successful, but well-done on account of the excellent maltiness and overall balance.
