Rapture is a Sour Beer sort of in the vein of a Flanders Red, but somewhat bolder in flavor. It’s a 6.7% American Wild Red Ale that has undergone 100% of its fermentation and 18 months of aging in pinot noir wine barrels on a collection of micro flora that has created wonderful flavors of berry fruits, oak, and a pronounced yet quite pleasant tartness. The acidity is rounded out with a muted vinous quality, satisfying maltiness, and effervescent mouthfeel that are sure to bring you joyful ecstasy.
“So why’d you name it Rapture?” Because we bottled it on Friday May 20, the day before the world was supposed to end! We just had to get it done before that happened!
