Golden Sour with Morello Cherries
A collaboration with our friends at Saint Monday Brewery. We blended two golden sour batches, both primary fermented with Brettanomyces and aged for an average of 3.5 months. We conditioned this blend on 400kg (over 220g/l) of whole Morello cherries from a single orchard in Kent.
Morellos are plump and juicy sour cherries which produce a delightful flavour profile of sweet, sour and jammy complexity with a touch of bitterness. The resulting beer has a vibrant red colour, aromas of cherry drops, strawberry laces and a light musty funk. On the palate we get jammy hedgerow berries, boiled sweets and a touch of bitterness on the finish.
