HindSight
American Wild Ale
6.5% ABV
I'm running a little behind on labels lately, so hopefully I'll be able to get a couple posted this week and get back on track. As long as the beer isn't running behind or out, I guess it doesn't matter that much. New on tap in the last couple of weeks is the next in our sour line up. HindSight has arrived. Hindsight is basically the first batch of O' Holy Night Dunkelweizen. When I made the first batch and kegged it things went terrible wrong and basically the beer became over carbonated. When I tried to release some of the CO2 out of the keg.....beer started foaming out of the top. Rather than run the risk of contamination I decided to scrap the batch and redo O' Holy Night. O' Holy Night turned out pretty good, but HindSight is on a whole new level.
HindSight was re fermented with blueberries and lactic bacteria for an additional 8 months. What we are left with is a almost tart candy sour beer with hints of fruit. In my mind this is the most sour I've gone with a beer so far and my patience with it really paid off. As with all of our sours the amount is limited. We had about 3 gallons at kegging time, and we're probably below 2 gallons now. So if you feel the need to succumb to the power of sour......ya better hurry over and grab a glass.
