This is the first in our series of blended American Wild Ales. This beer is a blend of three components. The first is a sour golden ale aged for over 9 months on bourbon staves with a mixed yeast and bacteria culture. The second is a tart wheat based beer aged for 2 months in a third use brandy barrel with whole hibiscus and lavender flowers. The third is an very tart cherry beer that rested in neutral oak for over 9 months on 3 lbs/bbl of sour cherries grown at Shelburne Orchard in Shelburne, Vermont. This beer exhibits a strong cherry smell and overtone that is balanced by a restrained spice and tartness from the hibiscus and lavender flowers. It's complex and begs you to revisit sip after sip to examine the subtleties that express themselves as it opens up and warms.

Poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy pink color with a cap of a little white semi-foamy head that slid off at a nice pace. Light lace ran here and there.
The aroma had a nice blend of sweet to tart black cherry character flowing over an ample amount of sweet wood. Light hints of grassiness, and an even flow of the sour cherry skin playing in the overall balance. Light floral on the back end.
The flavor brought the sweet to the sour to the tart to blend the cherry to the wood. Mild aftertaste of cherries, floral and grassy characters.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair in between sipping to sessionable quality about it. Normal carbonation, nothing felt off. ABV felt right on par. Finish was moderately sour with a touch of sweet and tart.
Overall, really nice American wild ale well worthy of coming back to.
