Brewed with toasted malts and fermented with a mixed-culture blend, this ruby-hued ale from Lamplighter's Luminary Collection was then oak-aged on an abundance of cherries. Once deliciously tart, with notes of burnt sugar and dried fig, we moved Seven Sisters onto fresh raspberry puree for a delightfully fruity finish. Drink fresh or cellar.

Broadway draught, 5/23/26.
Far right.
Healthy acidity in the nose showing a vibrant mix of malic and lactic. Significantly more raspberry than cherry. Malts not prominent in the nose, but something is definitely balancing the acidity pretty well. Light oak/red wine adding complexity. Polished, clean stuff, per Lamp's barrel program.
Oh wow, that's a lot maltier than the nose lets on, though given the wonderful balance their barreled sours have exhibited these days, I shouldn't be surprised. Rich honey, caramel and date with excellent lactic acidity and a pinch of acetic, to-style. Balanced, with a supple, oily and malty texture. Fruit well-integrated and authentic.
If only I weren't in so many damned clubs that I already struggle to keep up with, I'd certainly join the Luminary Society for more excellent barreled sours like this.
