The Rare Barrel Becoming Boysenberry Brett Sour

The Rare Barrel Becoming Golden Sour Beer Aged In Oak Barrels with Boysenberries.
6 % ABV. The Rare Barrel, Berkeley, CA.

Deep Burgundy hue, utter opacity, small pinkish head, soon gone.

In the nose: Bright, lively, delightfully sour and fruity. Oak and Brett expressive, with tons of berries.

In the mouth: Bold sour, fresh fruit, bursting with boysenberries. Terrific sour ale, oaky, fruity, Brett-y all at once. Oooo, wee! Long-time tart on the tongue, laying on the palate for the long haul. Day-um, delicious. This is just about perfect.

Golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with boysenberries.

Becoming is a blend of saison and golden sour beers aged in oak barrels with boysenberries. Fermented with a mixture of microorganisms, this blend has metamorphosed from a golden ale into a beautiful ruby sour beer, displaying notes reminiscent of berries and red wine. It's luminous appearance and flavor will rouse your senses and become more alluring with each sip.
