Honey Sour Ale Aged in Superstition Meadery Cherry Cyser Barrels with Clover Honey, Chamomile, and Mugwort
Superstition Meadery's Production Manager Zeke offered us a couple barrels that previously held their cherry cyser (cherry apple mead). We aged a pale sour in them for a year creating a fun fruity aroma. Then we refermented the resulting moderately tart beer on 70 lbs of clover honey from Lord Byron Apiary (Thurmont, MD). Finally Zeke spent an afternoon with us at Fox Haven Farm (Jefferson, MD) where we selected fresh chamomile to reinforce the apple aroma, and mugwort for a peppery aroma.
Brewed: 12/11/20 - Bottled: 6/7/22
Final pH: 3.17 - Cellar Up To: 5 years
Bottle Count: 576 - 1 Pint .9 fl oz/500 mL
