To create this incredible Ale, the team at The Rare Barrel (now a branch of Cellarmaker Brewing) started with a Golden Sour Ale fermented with a mixed culture of wild yeasts. After extended aging in oak barrels, they conditioned the brew on piles of ripe, golden apricots. 

Every sip overflows with bright, tangy nuances and flavors of stone fruit preserves. Rich, jammy notes add a touch of sweetness, balancing the pucker of the body, while hints of oak, lemongrass, and peach add subtle complexity. And it all leads to a crisp, dry finish.

If you’re a fan of tangy fruited Ales, this is a must-try bottle.
