Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailAlternate Takes #5

Barrel-aged Raspberry & Blueberry Sour In the analog age of music, artists recorded take after take, experimenting with new sounds until a great record emerged. Our Alternate Takes series offers a peek into our iterative & creative R&D process, where each batch is celebrated as its own off-centered hit. Alternate Takes #5 is our fruit-forward sour beer rounded by tartness & hints of vanilla & oak. This beer started as a blonde ale fermented with raspberries & aged in red wine barrels with brettanomyces & lactobacillus before being blended & additionally aged with insane amounts of blueberry. The mild brett funk plays well off the bright berry character which is balanced by a soft lactic sourness. COLOR Deep ruby red with shades of plum AROMA Black raspberry, boysenberry jam & a mild brett funk FLAVOR Rich dark berry & cherry flavors followed by tartness & vanilla bean MOUTHFEEL Medium body, finishes dry & tart
