Ardent’s Fall American Sour Blend is made from sour blonde and sour red ales, aged independently in oak barrels for ten months, then blended together. This beer was derived from a mixed culture of house microbes and will continue to evolve as it ages in the bottle. Tart and complex with notes of stone fruit and hints of vanilla.

2018 version.
Pours a clear amber with fine, soft foam.
Smell is tart and lemony with notes of clemetine and some ginger. Hints of oak as well.
Taste is nicely tart and acidic, with lots of citrus and hints of ginger, oak and vanilla. Some peppery, brett-like hints are also there. Nice balance and complexity.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice, complex sour that doesn't overdo any aspect, but everything works well together.
