Not Quite Ritual

Apricot Pale Sour Ale with Phantasm Finished in a Cognac Barrel

Bottle Release 10/27/23 (2023 Wood/Founders Club Exclusive)

We selected one of our favorite barrels of pale sour bases for additional aging in a French Cognac barrel. The rich raisin-like richness from the barrel is a perfect foil for the snappiness of fresh apricots from Toigo Orchard (Shippensburg, PA). We used a moderate fruiting rate to avoid obscuring the barrel, Phantasm, and house culture!
