Our base golden sour aged in Vikre Distillery Iron Range whiskey barrels for up to 18 months where it spent time with our resident micro-flora, then refermented on hundreds of pounds blueberries - this dark purple sour ale has rich notes of berries, funk and light vanilla.

Probably the best sour this brewery has put out. Nice blackberry flavor but not getting much from the whiskey barrel. The wild yeast at least did the job here adding some nice complexity.

Pours a dark black blueberry color with a thin ruby head. Smell is barrel and blueberry . Tastl had light barrel whiskey notes mixed with wood and vanilla, lots of fruit and of course blueberries . Mouth feel was tart and sour with a berry finish. Very good.
