This barrel-aged wild ale is named for our San Francisco neighborhood and pays tribute to the Flanders Red style of beer. Aged in wine barrels, this lightly tart ale is brewed with California Rainier cherries using a house blend of wild yeasts, bacteria and SF sourdough yeast. Pair this complex ale with ripe figs & blue cheese or seafood bouillabaisse.

35cl bottle. Clear copper pour with a thin off-white head with poor retention. Notes of cherries, caramel, blue cheese, apple vinegar and tons of macerated cherries. Some vanilla and oak barrel, especially in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation with a very tart and fizzy finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Dogpatch Sour on 15 Sep 2016 at 22:12 - Score: 8

Bottle. Pours a flat amber color with no head. Aroma of sweet and tart cherries, a bit of wine barrel. Intense sour taste, minimal cherry sweetness. Lots of tart pucker in this one. A modest wine barrel influence. Very nice to sip on while catching up on some r&r.

hazy orange, white head. Mild aroma, some fruits, some barrel and booze. Flavor is plenty sourish, citrussy and slightly wild yeasty, faint fruity note. Somewhat more sour and citrussy and less vinegar like than most sour red’s i’ve had. But in fact quite tasty.
