About This Beer
To make today’s stunner, the GABF and FOBAB-winning heavyweights took a mature, barrel aged Wild Ale base, added 5 lb per gallon of Montmorency and Balaton cherries, and refermented it until dry.
Tasting Notes
Complex jammy-tangy aromas carry into the sip, where each sip is like plucking a fresh cherry off the tree. Tart, earthy nuances meet mild barrel tones before fading into a lingering, juicy, fruit finish with hints of vanilla and marzipan.
MvB’s bright, balanced acidity makes it a great choice to go along with a happy hour snack of goat cheese, almonds, and rosemary crackers.
