Flavor Text: “Resonare is a golden sour ale aged in neutral wine barrels. Two pounds per gallon of whole plums contribute depth of character and stone fruit essence to this arcadian sour. When the beer reaches its peak, we blend the barrels to attain the perfect resonance of our house sour culture with rustic plum.”
Beer #2: White Angel
Style: Barrel-Aged American Sour Ale Fermented with Muscadine Grapes
ABV: 7.3%
Flavor Text: “White Angel is patiently and painstakingly aged in 500L puncheons with 2 pounds per gallon of whole, North Carolina-grown Muscadine grapes. After maturation in these neutral oak vessels, this sour is re-fermented on an additional 2 pounds per gallon of Muscadines to impart a tannic grape character. A total of 4 pounds per gallon of fruit renders White Angel the absolute essence of wild grapes in a glass. ”
