Commercial Description:
Our 13th Anniversary ale is a blend of new (70%) and old (30%) beers. The new is brown ale with sour cherries, fermented with a Belgian yeast strain. The old is seven-year-old beer to which berries, lactobacillus, pediococcus, and brettanomyces were added along the way. This sour beer aged in American oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for four years before being transferred to stainless kegs, where it continued to do its magic for the last three years. In May the sour funk was blended with the fresh brown ale, then bottle- and kegconditioned with yet another Belgian yeast.

Stone Sourfest. Pours dark brown. Sweet flavor with a tart follow up. Not the best sour i’ve ever had but not a bad beer by any means.

Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Sour from the beginning. Aromas were tart fruit, grapes, cherry, berry. Flavors were similar with an acidic finish. Some wood flavors mixed in there too. Good stuff.

Muddy chestnut brown with just a small island of bubbles settling on top. Nose was interesting nothing other than Kalamata olives with some dark woody accents...which at that point, I wasn’t sure I liked until had a taste of the beer...Uniquely thin bodied vinous flavors, sweet grapes at the start but ending on a dry note. This beer was as clean as clean can be from first sip to the very finish...not a single off flavor floating around anywhere. My only potential issue was that it might be a tad too thin and one dimensional but on the other hand, that just may be the appeal.

Sampled at the Second Anual Stone Sour Festival on 7/20/2008. Worthy of the two tickets. Very nice sour ale. Flavors of tart crab apple and cherries. One of my favorites.

Rating # 900! Tap @ Stone Sour Fest 2008. One of the better sours at the fest. Pours a hazed medium brown with a thin off white ring. Nose of tart berry fruits, flavor was a strange but awesome combo of tart cherries and strawberries with some oak and chocolate.
