Almanac Beer Company Cerise Sour Blond - Ale Brewed With Cherries And Aged In Wine Barrels

Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.

Tonight’s featured beer is Almanac Beer Company Cerise Sour Blond - Ale Brewed With Cherries And Aged In Wine Barrels.

From the Almanac Beer Company website: “This beer is inspired by the long and hot summer days in the San Joaquin Valley—the fertile basin that yields much of California’s bountiful produce. This tart blond ale was brewed with Rainier and Bing cherries from Bella Viva Orchards and fermented with our house sour culture and aged for many months in used wine barrels to create a tart, cherry-kissed wild ale.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a clear orange/golden amber color with a n off-white head and leaves dots of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Musty, funky, lemon, cherries and some oak barrel with some white wine notes.
Taste: Tart and sour upfront with lemon and cherries, funky oak barrel, straw, light vinegar and wet grainy malts.
Overall: Light and crisp, Almanac Beer Company Cerise Sour Blond - Ale Brewed With Cherries And Aged In Wine Barrels is enjoyable.  This 7% ABV offering is worth a try for sour fans.

Cheers!

Mark Harvey
