Cherry Wild Sour with Tonka Bean & Vanilla
Using carbonic maceration to extract the fullest flavours from 500kg of cherries, we then added 500L of our 2 year old foudre ale to condition for one and a half years.
Expressing a great many characteristics of cherries, this BA Wild Ale offers a variety of flavours. Raw nuts, cherry pit, a mild and savoury autolysis character, berry sherbet, and a flavour of tart cranberries rehydrated with lemon juice. This is a fun and zippy beer that is at its best adding brightness and cheer to an occasion.
This year's releases have been conceived to provide moments of shared celebration, decadent contemplation and pleasant surprise. Developed with a variety of specially selected barrels, hops, fine organic fruits, and carefully sourced ingredients to deliver beers that range from luscious spirit-aged stouts to deeply complex blends with spontaneously fermented bases.
Made with time and love at Cloudwater.
5.5% ABV, 750ml Bottle

CBJ tasting. Thanks to Fergus for the bottle. Near clear wine colour beer, small bubbly pink colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts. Good berry fruits, tart and slightly acetic. Semi dry finish. Nice enough.
