Sour - Other

We teamed up with our pals at Angry Orchard to produce this mixed media expression of our fermentation worlds. We began with a mixed culture farmhouse ale brewed with pilsner, spelt, rye, wheat and Vienna malts that had been aged in French oak Chardonnay barrels for 2 years. Then we blended it with Estate-grown apple cider from Angry Orchard’s New York orchard using select apple varieties to complement the acidity of the beer. The result is a wonderfully tart, fruity, almost champagne-esque drinking experience full of aromatic apples, bright acidity, pungent funk and oaky dryness.

Despite the cider addition, the sour funk and oak aging still came through

I like this more than I expected to. It’s like if Angry Orchard tasted better. Less sweet than cider. Very slight funkiness.

Fun and funky apples. Good use of the angry orchard... pairs well with escaping to some happy zen.

Didn't realize it was a sour hence the high rating. My fault for picking a beverage in a style I can't stand.
