Cape May The Top Sail
What the brewers say
“Aged for 9 months in the barrels previously carrying The Keel. Exotic fruit flavors reminiscent of peaches, mangoes, and apricots developed from the multitude of Brett strains playing off the base beer.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Very delicate. Soft lemon tartness, light grain character, hints of spice.”
Flavor: “Complex sourness, though not overly aggressive. Grainy malt, lemon tartness that persists with spicy fermentation notes. Moderately dry finish, really interesting on the swallow.”
Overall: “A really nice sour beer—the aroma is delicate and enticing, well balanced and complex throughout. A great mix of grain character, tartness, with a lightly spicy fermentation quality.”
