Rooster's Brewery Sidecar 375ml bottle

Rooster's latest barrel-aged release and is based on the sour cocktail of the same name. They brewed a base Berliner Weisse using a traditional grist (lager malt, wheat and acidulated malt), albeit somewhat stronger than is typical of the style (around twice the strength) , before it was committed to brandy barrels acquired from a distillery in Oregon, USA and layered two additions of orange and lemon peel while the beer spent 7 months resting on oak. The result is a sharp and tangy, barrel-aged sour beer that has a strong hit of zesty orange upfront, followed by a boozy brandy mouthfeel and a touch of oak on the finish.
