A nod to the classic Whisky Sour cocktail. A sour ale with lemon aged in Bourbon casks for 28 months and innoculated with Brettanomyces. Honey coloured, with sweet vanilla tones and a full, lingering sourness

375 ml green bottle, as Pomona Island Crusta Whiskey Sour, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 11%. Brownish golden colour, minimal carbonation, no proper head. Aroma of lemons, lactic acid, bourbon whiskey, vanilla and oak. Very sour but also very sweet flavour, lots of lactose and otherwise the same elements as the aroma. Won't buy again.
