One of our most complex beers - malt is usually back seat to the fruit in our blonde sour beers, but in this case it’s a prevalent part of the flavor profile. The quick (2 months) rest in bourbon barrels really smoothed out some of the sharper acid flavors to make a well rounded and balanced beer.
Barrels: Wine and bourbon
Microbes: Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus

Nice tart and sweet cherry pie funk. Lots of barrel to round out the finish.

Bottle share thanks to Toby. Pours an amber color with a ruby tint, moderate beige cap. The aroma is earthy and vinous, small amount of cherries. The taste is a lot of the barrel treatment, more vinous notes, sour pie cherries, and farmhouse funk. Woody and a bit of vinegar.

Dark reddish-brown, this has a deep fruity, woody nose, tart and woody palate with cherry and vinousness. Nice, well balanced take on a Flemish red.

On tap at Apex, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light cherry skins and a touch of wild brett. Flavour is along the same lines, with wild funky yeast and dark dried fruits. Complex and deep, with a rather viscous palate for the style. Very good.

Light cherry and some lime. Raspberry. Dark ruby pour like red tang with ok head. Tangy finish. Thanks to Radagast.
