Sour Ale Matured In Oak Barrels
Aura is a blonde sour ale that was matured in oak barrels. Aura pours light gold in color with a small white head. The barrel aging brings out fruity notes reminscent of tangerines & nectarines. A dry finish with a refreshing acidity gives Aura a beautiful balance.
Matured in Cabernet Sauvignon, merlot & gin barrels between 9 & 12 months

Appearance: Arrives fairly clear and golden colored with a one finger head that leaves a few shards
Smell: Lactic tones with lemon, tangerine and a hint of nectarine; vinous oak and juniper complements
Taste: Lactic flavors on the taste buds, with a strong nectarine element; vinous, through the middle, with lemon and tangerine developing, after the swallow; a little juniper in the finish to complement the sourness
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation; puckery
Overall: A really nice sour with a variety of interesting elements

wine aromas. Full mouthfeel of sour. lemony orange taste up front, wine background, and a bit of gin in finish. Lots of foam that dissipates over time.
