A Note on This Beer

It’s the time of year when I like to cozy up with a deeply nuanced brew that’s swirled in pleasant fruit flavors. Today’s brand new Sour Ale release from Anchorage Brewing has my cravings covered!

To coax out all of Incantation’s luscious, tropical fruit tang and crisp, white wine notes, Gabe Fletcher and his award-winning Alaskan brew crew aged the brew with Brettanomyces in French Oak Chardonnay Barrels for a whopping 22 months. 

But, the real juicy contentment comes from this: they aged the brew for an additional three months in Missouri Oak barrels on spellbinding amounts of apricots, guava, and passion fruit!

Every sip is like biting into a plump spoonful of fresh-cut fruit and washing it down with a sip of pleasantly tart lemonade. Gentle funk whispers in on the finish, allowing me to imagine I’m in a rustic farmhouse, sipping away on a crisp fall afternoon. 

And, as if all that lush complexity wasn’t enough to totally satiate the senses, the 10% ABV is there as a backup!

Though outside of Tavour, the only way to get it is to trek up to America’s Last Frontier, ASAP. That, or say a magical incantation of your own and hope there’s still some left by Halloween.


Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Anchorage Brewing Company is certified independent by the Brewers Association

This was my first ever sour. Never again. Not my thing. I’ll stick with stouts and IPAs.

Very tasty sour. Doesn’t taste like a 10% beer which is nice as some can be too overwhelming. The fruit taste is just right. Regretting not buying more. Definitely in the top 5 of best sours I’ve had

So glad I picked this one up. You cannot taste the 10% until you're already halfway through. The fruits are easy to distinguish and you can taste hints of the Chardonnay which gives this sour some dryness. One of the best sours I've had

Wine like beer that’s interesting to drink but not on an ongoing basis. If you are a wine fan you’ll love this beer. I’ll stick to beer.

Very intense taste, at times felt like I was drinking and smelling nail polish. When you get adjust to the intensity it ends up being a good sour.

Great sour. I’m a fan of a brewery that produces barrel aged sours and this is as good as anything I have tried- and at the price!!! Wish I would have picked more.

There's bitterness and sourness. Earthy and funky. Reminds me of a dry wine. I don't taste any of the fruits mentioned.

Wow what a wild and funky sour ale. Pours a hazy yellow, fresh squeezed juice. Loads of fruit flavor on the tongue. Another excellent brew from Gabe & Co!

This is the best sour I've ever had. Lovely citrus up front before the French oak lingers on the tongue for a creamy finish. I'll be thinking about this one long after it's finished. I'm sad I only picked up a few!
