Golden Sour Beer Aged in Oak Barrels with Kiwis, Lemon Verbena, and Vanilla Bean

​Made with locally sourced Hayward fuzzy kiwis, A Wish For Wings That Work boasts over-ripe tropical aromas with a bright-tangy taste. Fresh lemon verbena was added to accentuate the lemon-lime notes of the kiwi fruit, while rich and creamy Madagascar vanilla beans were used to round out the beer's composition.

Bottle. (thanks Eddan) Hazy golden/yellow with a small white head. Refreshing and nicely drinkable with citrus, oak, funk and kiwi.

Sampled at Snallygaster 2019. Poured a pale, semi-clear yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was very light funky notes, some interesting fruits. Light tart, funky tangy notes. Interesting.

Kiwi isn't super present here but there's a light bit of it. Some orange, some grapefruit. Pours murky yellow without much head or lacing. Finishes tangy. Tap at Snally.
