(5.6% abv) is a blended barrel-aged sour with sea buckthorn: A couple different base beers went into this creation. One part light hoppy base beer with 100% German heirloom pilsner malt, aged about 18 months in ex sauv blanc barrels with a host of different brett, sacch, lacto and pedio cultures; and another part low IBU golden sour base aged for about a year in neutral ex-wine barrels. After aging, these beers were conditioned on cold pressed sea buckthorn juice from New Brunswick, and dry hopped with aged noble hops before packaging and bottle conditioning for about 2 months. Zero head retention thanks to sea buckthorn’s natural oils. Pineapple, fuzzy peaches, mango, and a firm minerality. Freezing rain on a white sandy beach.
