The sticke is out!
Last year we sent ol’ Kev the Brewer back to the kettles to brew up his “sticke” (secret) German-style Altbier recipe. When the sweet, malty, noble-hopped liquid was ready, we laid it to rest in some fine bourbon oak barrels to age and absorb and mingle with all the big boozy flavors within.
The time has finally arrived to imbibe this old-world treat. Remember kids, Hops are Hip but Malts are Magical! Prost!
IBU: 65
MALT: Pilsner, Munich, Caramunich, Carafa
HOPS: Perle, Tettnang
YEAST: German Alt

16 ounce can poured into a strange.
This seems to fit with the Sticke Alt style, balanced hop and malt character of Altbier but to a higher level. However it is sour. No bourbon barrel aroma or flavor, it is rich but dominated by sour cherry aroma and a more general fruity sour flavor.
Not bad If you enjoy sours but seems off style.
