A Sherried Tart Saison Aged in Oak Barrels with Too Much Pear. This is our oldest sour beer. I hesitate to call it beer even. It started life as our first Saison brew in August 201 7 and when the barrels wouldn’t sour, we added fruit to help them along. We used far too much pear in this barrel, as it took a few years for the sugars to ferment. The barrel naturally oxidized in the style of a sherry as half of it evaporated! We decided to bottle it still like sherry. A perry sherry? 12 cases of stoppered bottles were produced, as this is more of a sipper. We found that there is an underlying browned apple aromatic note reminiscent of making apple pie, and so we've attached a stick of cinnamon to each bottle so that you can experiment with warming a sample up on the stovetop like a mulled cider or wine! 750mL. 8.7% alc/vol.
