Wine barrel aged Sour ale conditioned on grape skins, blackberries, and black raspberries.
When we first sent bottles to California, we had to put a single “CACRV” sticker on over 10,000 bottles, as our labels lacked the necessary bottle redemption information. This was a ridiculous task, yet essential in order to bring Jackie O’s to CA. To commemorate the arduous task of prepping our bottles for that maiden voyage, we have crafted a special beer for the Golden State! A blend of Perpetum, our Berliner Weisse inspired mixed culture Sour ale, and a three-year-old wine barrel aged Sour Blond ale. The blend was then conditioned on grape skins, second-use blackberries, and third-use black raspberries. CACRV is bottle conditioned and brimming with berry notes, tannic grape qualities, and a unique watermelon-esque character.

Sample at the brewpub during Jackie O’s 14th Anniversary Extravaganza on 01/10/2020. Hazy reddish-orange color with a medium bone-white head that burns away steadily to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a tart vinous and berry character and notes of mildly funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a grape and berry aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Bottle at the December Ratebeer DC Tasting. Poured a hazy, dull light brown/dark orange color with a small, wispy head. Aroma was blackberries, light sour grapes. Flavor was light grape, berries. Pretty tasty!
