Festive Barrel Project 2024: Fruit Sharers 3 Pack
A 3-Pack of our 750ml fruited sour barrel-aged beers, the perfect drinks to share with friends and family during festive celebrations.
This year's releases have been conceived to provide moments of shared celebration, decadent contemplation and pleasant surprise. Developed with a variety of specially selected barrels, hops, fine organic fruits, and carefully sourced ingredients to deliver beers that range from luscious spirit-aged stouts to deeply complex blends with spontaneously fermented bases.
Made with time and love at Cloudwater.
The three beers included in this set are listed below.
Incantation (750ml)
Cherry Wild Sour with Tonka Bean & Vanilla - 5.45 ABV
Using carbonic maceration to extract the fullest flavours from 500kg of cherries, we then added 500L of our 2 year old foudre ale to condition for one and a half years.
Expressing a great many characteristics of cherries, this BA Wild Ale offers a variety of flavours. Raw nuts, cherry pit, a mild and savoury autolysis character, berry sherbet, and a flavour of tart cranberries rehydrated with lemon juice. This is a fun and zippy beer that is at its best adding brightness and cheer to an occasion.
A Measure Of What We’ve Lost (750ml)
Spontaneously Fermented Beer with Chuckleberry, Lavender & Vanilla - 6.4% ABV
We used a traditional carbonic maceration technique from winemaking to gently break down 2.5 tons of chuckleberries, which is a beautiful hybrid of redcurrant, gooseberry and jostaberry. This was left in our foudre to co-ferment with 2500L Wild Ale for 2 years before adding lavender and vanilla to emphasize the complexity of the beer.
Huge citrus, lavender, and peppery aromas intertwine with flavours of fresh berries and sweet citrus fruits. The sourness is bright and smooth, elegantly rounded off with the addition of vanilla.
Delicate, refreshing and crisp with a lavish balance and high drinkability.
Time Being (750ml)
Mixed Berry Wild Sour - 7.5% ABV
This mixed BA beer blends 6 year old blueberry wild ale with 2 year old chuckleberry wild ale before being bottle conditioned for 2 years.
Featuring a combination of unexpected and customary flavours such as tomato, basil, bubblegum, light pepperiness, mild salinity, accompanied by a light farmyard funk.
We’d suggest this beer to be an excellent pairing with soft or goat’s cheese.
