Beak …AND THE RED LEVIATHAN 6.8% SOUR ALE

6.8%abv, 750ml, England.

Tasting notes: 

Foudre release 2/2. This sour ale was brewed using a unique blend of heritage grain grown a few miles from the Beak brewery in the South Downs.

It was primary fermented in steel then aged in an oak Chianti foudre for more than a year before being conditioned for eight months over 350kg fresh raspberries.

Prior to bottle conditioning, they blended the beer with a barrel-aged saison that had spent two years maturing with British-grown yuzu.

Spritzy and lightly tart with flavours reminiscent of almond, black cherry, lemon zest and pinot noir.
