Year of New Beer: Canvas Series:Resonare, Wicked Weed Brewing (Asheville)

Written By: Dion on 08/03/2016

Sour on the nose as plums, pears, and peaches come across like Sweetart candies against a background of funky earth and dusty oak. The tongue finds puckering, under-ripened fruits that provide an initial dryness to the taste buds before evolving to a slight sweetness as the glass warms. The barrel aging gives a woody note that seems to temper the overall acidity and sharpness of the brew. This one may not have received the hype afforded some other Wicked Weed brews, but it is no less deserving. A little pricey, but an outstanding sour ale nonetheless. Picked up at Appalachian Vintners in Asheville.
