ABV: 6% | Vintage: 2015 Single barrel Sour Ale. This is our first single barrel release. This golden ale had a used champagne barrel as its home for over three years. During that time the relatively simple beer underwent an amazing transformation where it picked up color, texture and aroma from the barrel while the micro organisms in Garden Party went to work on the fermentable sugars. When we tasted it we decided the result was so spectacular that we could not bring ourselves to blend it or otherwise tamper with it. This is also our first beer we have made that we would call sour Orange-amber with white head. Bright acidic aroma dominated by red fruits and leather. On the palate the first impression is bright fruity acidity followed by macerated strawberries, rhubarb and a hint of caramel and toasted walnuts. Medium bodied with a dry, clean finish and refreshing acidity.
