Springdale ‘Kriek Mythology’ Oak Aged Sour Ale with Cherries

Kriek Mythology: 8.0 – It’s been a good decent while since a sour actually knocked us on our ass, recently it’s been awash of subpar and mediocre outings. Everything just having a hint of tartness, and sadly very little funk. It’s not too much a surprise that the skunkworks of Jack’s Abby in Springdale did well here. Their past outings were a mix, but down to the barrel. As for this? Well you are gonna have to like cherries friend, but it is shockingly tart, incredibly refreshing, and fruity as well as funky. When you ask for a sour you are asking for some wild shit, and this fits the bill.

Price Average: $15 for 500ml

Sierra Nevada “Trip in the Woods” Barrel Aged Maple Scotch Ale

Barrel Aged Maple Scotch Ale: 6.5 – Now let’s get something clear – if you entered into this beer not expecting sweetness from being a barrel aged beer w/ maple and are turned off by that – you did this to you. That being said it does add some unique bits to a scotch ale, and isn’t cloyingly sugar. It’s not a very successful barrel age, but by virtue of being drinkable (although it heavy) is wonderful.

Price Average: $21
