A golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with ginger. Fermented with a collection of microorganisms, this sour beer showcases a tame acidity to pair with a ginger bite.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a cloudy yellow with small off white head. The aroma is strong ginger, oak, and lemon zest. Thin mouthfeel with tart ginger and oak with lingering sourness. Very nice

Burnt orange appearance. Ginger isn’t my thing...giving it a go anyway. Nose is distinctly ginger spice. smells like a less sweet ginger ale, tart and dare I say actually pretty sour. lemon, lime aromas, peach. Taste is almost effervescent. touch of honey, ginger is overwhelming but I am sensitive to it. finish is clean minor balsamic, nothing too extreme. Probably wouldn’t have this again. My favorite single barrel release remains their coffee sour with sight glass coffee.
