Pale Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrel with Second-Use Chardonnay Grapes, Raspberries, Cherries, and Nectarines.
This beer went on a journey without leaving our brewery! It started out going onto the Chardonnay grapes originally from Field Learning. Then into two well used wine barrels. Next it went onto the cherries and raspberries originally from Jammiest Bit. Then a final infusion on the nectarines from Polite Company. SInce all of the fruit was "lightly used" it has subtle notes of vinous, berry, and stonefruit without any of them dominating!
Brewed: 8/23/22 – Bottled: 9/29/23
Final pH: 3.32 – Cellar Up To: 4 years
Bottle Count: 618 – 1 Pint .9 fl oz/500 mL

Semi-hazy gold straw appearance with a delicate modest white head that recedes quickly to a surface film. White wine, stone fruit, oak, bright fruity notes, and delicately sour. Wine and oak notes mellow and soften beautifully as it warms. Moderate body, moderate carbonation, lively mouthfeel.
