 Thanks for joining me for this episode of brutal battle beer break today I'm doing a beer by Almanac beer company out of San Jose, California, and this is their Farmers Reserve strawberry sour ale It's a sour ale that's aged in barrels with fresh strawberries. This is part of their farm to barrel Program where they take fruit actually from farms put it in the barrel with their sour beers. So There you go Got all sorts of stuff going on nice big tree right there ABB on this 7% looking for some light flavors to be going on in here typically strawberry sours have Pretty delicate notes to them Well, let's see how this one is It's very orange Super orangey looking very fine carbonation in it as you can see there's not much of a head That's actually sticking around. In fact, there's no head sticking around There's a funky sour aspect that hits me first I'm able to pick out a little bit of the strawberry, but it's kind of very much in the end of the majority one I get It's like a little bit of a vinaigrette sourness and a little bit of a funky aspect that you might get with Like Britannia Micey's type deal Yeah, it's just mainly sour with just the slightest touch of a strawberry note Mainly getting sour. There is a tad bit of strawberry there. It is still relatively cold I'm assuming that as it warms up a little bit more that strawberry will become a little bit more pronounced It's there. It's barely there though So I'd like a little bit more strawberry when it says, you know farmers reserve strawberry strawberries in the name so like to really taste the strawberry but You know strawberries are one of those fruits that are a little bit tougher to get the notes to really stand out in beer In my opinion so as far as the sour goes It's a solid sour. It's got that kind of funky sour aspect. It's a little bit vinaigrette It's not too over the top with the sourness makes me feel like I need to pucker just a tad bit But I'm not getting that kind of like crazy sour Tingle that you can get on your sides of your jaw off sometimes So overall pretty solid beer. I'd like more of the strawberry in it, but Not bad at all. All right, so all my beer.
