Allagash Brewing Company Little Sal Wine Barrel Aged Sour Ale w/ Blueberries 6.0% ABV
Few things are more synonymous with Maine than blueberries. After years of making fruit beers, Little Sal is our first ever blueberry beer. Little Sal was brewed with three pounds of Maine blueberries per gallon and aged with both pediococcus and lactobacillus in a single oak red wine barrels. The finished beer is dark amber in colour, with a fluffy, pink head. The aroma has blueberry, oak and earthiness throughout. The flavour is vinous with lingering blueberry and a moderate tartness. Biscuity notes give way to a juicy sweetness that is followed by a long, drying finish.
