Barrel aged sour ale with blackberry, boysenberry & vanilla
For this insane fruit pastry sour, we teamed up with Ashley at Holiday Market. The only requirements he gave us: "It has to stain everything it touches and pucker you up". Mission accomplished. We dumped more fruit puree and fruit concentrate into this small batch than any other beer we've ever made, and you can tell. You'll understand why we called it "Protoplasm" when you pour it into your glass. To finish it off, we added some more Madagascar vanilla, because... #pastrysour

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clear ruby color with a finger of pink foam that lingers, then dissipates. Big boysenberry forward nose with blackberry, raspberry, oak and vanilla cream aromas. Smooth with a restrained acidity...the vanilla really works well with the tart berry notes. Smooth finish with minimal acidity...some berry skin and flesh with lingering vanilla and oak. Great stuff.
