MyBeer Buzz
Here’s another new sour ale coming to bottles from Almanac Beer. This is Tropical Platypus and it is a dry-hopped sour ale aged in wine barrels with kiwi, mango, lime and passion fruit. This is a 375ml bottle and the beer hits 7%-AbV. As a bonus, we have Vanilla Cherry Dogpatch sour red ale aged in wine barrels with cherries and whole vanilla beans (7%-AbV). Tropical Platypus will be released on 5/16/2016.
This update from Almanac:
Vanilla Cherry Dogpatch
7.5% ABV | 375ml bottles & limited draft
Vanilla Cherry Dogpatch takes everything you love about our regular Dogpatch Sour and turns it up to 11. We started with our base red sour ale and added a ridiculous amount of Bing, Rainier and Montmorency Cherries to each barrel for a juicy, intense cherry flavor that exudes summer. Then we added in whole Madagascar vanilla beans, building on oak’s natural vanilla flavor. The final blend creates a delicate balance of fruit and oak that keeps you coming back for more. Pair this summer sipper with game bird, fruit sauces and still-warm pie.
