Crooked Stave Blackberry Petite Sour

From Crooked Stave – Blackberry Petite Sour is an unfiltered wild ale with Blackberries aged in oak . A serious sourness greets you on the nose with dark bramble fruit aromas and bright citrus flavors created by the wild yeast and bacteria. The finish is dry with a firm tartness, and prickly mouthfeel.
