This live barrel of NW style sour red ale was initially aged for six months in French oak wine barrels, then additionally aged on elderberries. Sharp wine, dark raisins, red grapes and cereal notes greet you on the nose. Tart dark fruit and grapes on the palate lead to a sparkling crisp dry finish with hints of fresh elderberries and grape skins.

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal, mai-17: klar mørkerød mahogny med flott skum som varer. Saftig og lekker aroma og smak med hyllebær og andre sure bær, citron og bringebær. Ren, intens smak med skyhøy forfriskningskoeffisient. Tannpuss blir overflødig i kveld. En av kceldens absolutt beste.
