This mixed-fermentation sour highlights a best in class cherry with Hungarian roots grown just north of our brewery in Oyama, BC. Through a lengthy fermentation on top of the whole fruit, this beer has developed a gorgeous colour, flavour, and tannin structure. Brewed and canned at our brewery in Kelowna, BC.

This brewery’s mixed fermentation yields sours more complex than kettle sours, which lay closer to the Berlinerweisse spectrum than the lambic. The sour expresses in the top and far back of the palate rather than the more usual sherbety fizz in the corners of the palate. Solid dry cherry flavour. Refreshing and highly drinkable. Recommended.
