The word vulpine means "like a fox." Here, we’re referring to the deep, reddish hues of Obscura Vulpine, a beer brewed especially for barrel aging. What goes into the wood as rich, malty, and ruby-colored, comes out a complex, sour, garnet ale. With notes of dried tart cherries, red currants, and oak, this is a beer as artful as our favorite forest canine.

On tap. Pours with a resilient, tight, off-white head over a lightly hazed copper to amber hued body. Aromas are sweet, floral, kumquats, candied tangerine, apricot, nectarine with a light acidity. Flavors are mildly acidic and a bit funk. Malic and lactic. Light tobacco and musty notes. Sharp, dried apricot flavors (vibrantly dried fruit). Medium esters. A bit watery and thin. Lively bubbles, somewhat try. Light tannic notes at the finish. Peach schnapps. Lightly sour, but very juicy. Interesting.
