This is not a kettle sour. This mixed culture Farmhouse ale was aged in Oak barrels with pear juice. A delicate dry hop of Sabro, Citra and Mosaic imparts a Transcendent tropical Aroma. Shine On!

On draught at Novare Res during the "Beer Meets Wood Pre-ThrowDown" on 09/22/2017. Clear yellow-gold color with a medium bone white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, earthy yeast, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of funky citrus, yeast, grassy hops and bready malt. The finish is fruity with a grapefruit and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
