Our sour blonde beer has been aged for a year in a French Oak Demi-Muid barrel and secondary fermented with loads of heirloom cherries and raspberries. Tart, fruity, and funky, this beer is sure to break some hearts when it disappears.

Here is one of the last beers I had while visiting the Drake's something room somewhere in the Yay Area. I just added the beer to this Next Glass database, and will write a review since I'm a Next Glass Advocate. Pennies on the dollar. Holler if ya here me.
Pours red. A pretty red, much like Kim in that dress, holy moly. Light off white head 1/5". The aroma strokes both the cherry and raspberry fruit checkmarks. Cherry seemed the slightly bigger smell. The referenced demi muid barrels have a nice impact here, light woodiness binding with raspberries dryness. The nicest thing about this beer is how easy it is to drink, it doesn't turn anything up to 11, its just a nice 6.5 on the dial.
The taste keeps banging in the same way, it has a nice dual layered fruit profile, without going excessive in the sour or acidity department. Doesn't have the bug bacterial complexities going for it, but sometimes clean and fruity works just fine. Beer aspect like malt and hops are minimal.
