A Note on This Beer

Allagash is a legendary brewery. 

They were one of the first to introduce authentic, Wild Ales to the U.S. Years later, they’re still among the most inspiring brewers of the style!

When their beer involves Bourbon Barrels and fresh, locally-grown cherries like today’s Fox Leap, consider yourself lucky to even spot a bottle — much less to partake in its sweet, oaky-vanilla-kissed stone fruit nectar. 

To make it, these masters first aged two beers — their Wild Ale in Bourbon Barrels for a year, and their Sour Ale in stainless for a year and half. Then, they mixed the two Ales together and aged the blend on 3,250 lbs of local, Maine-grown, Balaton and Montmorency cherries for another 4 months.

The result? A funky, lightly effervescent, 8.3% ABV, bourbon cherry pie Fruited Sour that beer geeks in-the-know will snatch up crazy fast. Last time we got our hands on some Fox Leap, it disappeared in less than a day! 

Rated 4.20 on Untappd

Delicious cherry flavor. Dark cherries with some cinnamon and funky acidity. Very drinkable yet complex.

Tart, balanced, long finish, and some wood comes through. There’s a lot to taste.

I love the cherry flavor in it. Shockingly smooth, not overly tart due to the cherry, but plenty of sourness to it. Perfectly balanced.

Great taste and heavily carbonated. The cherries are excellent and it is what you would expect from Allagash.

Allagash and a competitor are tempting me to move to Maine. My mom used to can cherries that my grandfather grew. I loved drinking the juice almost as much as eating the cherries. This is an alcoholic and slightly more sour version of that juice. My mom passed away 10 days ago. I drink this in her memory.

Heavily carbed. The BA sour elements register like a soft fruited saison and the cherry flavor is reminiscent of Belgian Krieks.

Really solid sour. Nice, tart, cherry aroma with a ton of sour yeasty funk and plenty of crisp, dryness. Clean slightly sweet finish.
