FRUIT DRAFT 2019 (8.5%) RUM BARREL AGED SOUR - collaboration with @speciationales , born on a long bus ride somewhere in Denmark, a concept in which each brewery would create a rum punch inspired sour beer by “drafting” five different fruits from a predetermined list.
Our version is a mixed culture golden sour aged in rum barrels, blended into a fruiting vessel to age on plum, boysenberry, lemongrass, blueberry & apple, then bottle conditioned with champagne yeast. Please keep cool, pour carefully and expect some sediment.

Bottle shared. Thank you. Pours an unclear purple ruby color with a finger of pink foam that dissipates. Lovely fruit basket forward nose with plum and stone fruit really standing out. Lemongrass comes out as it warms, not overly spiced. Good barrel notes....oak, rum and fruit punch on the finish. ABV hidden really well. Fun beer.

350 ml bottle. Aroma is berries, lime, Pine-Sol, booze, coconut, ginger. Pours hazy salmon pink with a decent pinkish-white soapy head with decent retention. Taste is highly sour (9.5/10) with flavors like the aroma. A fruity, mouth puckering drink.

Pours dark, unclear, bordeaux lookin' red. Nearly non existent, white head. Smell is intense fruit, cherries, mild raspberry. Taste is sharp, tart, lactic, some fruitsour. Tad funky, woody almost. OK. Fruitfleshy aftertaste. Not as smooth as I would have liked. Fruity finish.
