Sour Ale 6 º

Naparbier

Archangel is a complex Straight Sour Beer that transcends its style through a dual-stage barrel-aging process and the integration of red wine must. The twelve-month maturation in oak contributes a sophisticated vinous structure, blending sharp lactic acidity with deep notes of dark berries and subtle wood tannins. A base of pale malts provides a clean, biscuity foundation that supports the vibrant fruit character without adding sweetness. This hybrid profile results in an elegant, refreshing experience where the crispness of a sour ale meets the refined, dry finish and aromatic depth of a barrel-aged red wine.

Appearance. Deep pink to light ruby hue (10-15 SRM) resulting from the red wine must; clear to slightly hazy with a thin, fast-fading white head that carries a faint pink tint.

Aroma. High intensity; sharp, clean lactic sourness layered with prominent red grape, cherry, and plum notes from the wine must. Subtle oak and vanilla presence from extended barrel aging; low biscuity malt and no hop aroma.

Taste. Initial hit of sharp, lemony lactic acidity followed by a complex vinous middle featuring red fruit and a touch of tannic astringency. Clean, bready malt provides a neutral background; hop bitterness is undetectable. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering tartness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the acidic bite. Very low alcohol warmth is well-integrated; includes a slight tannic dryness on the palate.
