Kros Strain Brewing Company Mixed Fermentation w/ Rasberry, Peach and Apricot

What the brewers say

“Blended red and white oak barrels conditioned on raspberry, apricot, peach puree. Aroma of fresh-picked raspberries, peaches, Brett funk, oak.”

What our panel thought

“Rustic apricot nose with some depth. Lingering raspberry and leather notes. Melange of stone fruit and earthy raspberry across the palate atop a firm lactic-acid profile. Firm tartness on the finish that sticks around. A bottle-conditioned lift on the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Subtle mineral funk on the aroma with a bit of wet concrete, flashes of stone fruit, blue cheese, light floral, berry skin. Vibrant yet anchored in the sip, as layered fruit acidity takes point while fresh herbal and mineral notes creep into the finish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Kros Strain Brewing Company Red Wine Barrel Mixed Fermentation w/ Cabernet Sauvignon Must

“Cherries, lactic acid, dark fruits, red grapes, and oak nose. SweeTarts in a glass: tart and mouth-puckering. Red grapes create a vibrant red hue and lend some sweetness to this intensely sour beer.”

Blackberry Farm Brewery Mixed Culture Brett Saison

“Restrained nose, sweet and slightly savory with ginger, scallion or chive blossom, sake wine. Citrus more apparent in the flavor: pineapple, orange, pear. Herbal hops add complexity. Fruity accentuated by tart, not quite sour, notes.”

Flatland Brewing Company Flourish - Chenin Blanc

“Aroma is a cheesy marijuana strain—pungently savory and sulfury. New World hops lend additional citrus right out of the gate with a tart acidic punch that flows into a floral delicacy of grapes and light biscuity malt. Finish is surprisingly clean and smooth for such a piquant burst of flavor.”
