We added a hefty helping of strawberries to a blend of our red wine barrel-aged dark sour beers, resulting in this staggeringly tasty little number. Fermentation began with our house Lomaland yeast culture, but the robust sourness and heavy funk is the result of a secondary mixed fermentation featuring a plethora of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Brettanomyces strains. The resulting beer is powerfully fruity, incredibly complex, and bursting with strawberry flavor and aroma.

Hazy, dullish blonde, thin head, touch of brett, barrel. Mellow, touch of tartness but it’s also a touch flabby.

Tap. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is white wine funk, oak, a bit leathery, white grape must. Taste is the same. Soft oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. A bit too much cheap white wine in character.
