750ml bottle - a sour brew barrel-aged with cherries, raspberries, and Saskatoon berries - oh my!
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of drooping cloud form lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, red balsamic vinegar, some sour cherry and raspberry fruitiness, faint bittersweet cocoa powder, a wet wine barrel woodsiness, ethereal vanilla notes, and some weak leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is tart and tannic red wine, semi-sweet bready and crackery caramel malt, acerbic cherry and other muddled dark fruity esters, my Mom's well-recycled cooking vinegar, a growing vanilla-forward barrel stave oakiness, and more tame leafy, earthy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, just a touch of sour vinegar maybe taking the top layer off of the virtual varnish here. It finishes off-dry, the base malt doing well to parry the lingering acetic and woody essences.
Overall, this is a pleasant enough rendition of this Old School sour style, i.e. the tartness comes from wine-infused barrels, and the malt backbone counterbalances to a tee. Probably my favourite variant of this often polarizing brew, and good on Wild Rose for tackling it locally.
