Style: Blackcurrant/Raspberry American Sour
This indecently-hued American sour ale marries the complexity of juicy, ripe berries with a bright, clean acidity. Red ripe fruit is at the fore, while white oak adds a slight woodsy spice. Aged noble hops add a layer of earthy funk to the long, tannic finish.

tart grape fruit juice with oak. Super tart cleansing all previous beers. It’s like grape gummy bears, but much more tart. Excellent
