The Story
Wooden Soul #4 is a Sour Blonde Ale aged in 9 Sauvignon Blanc barrels and 3 California red wine barrels housing a native Brett strain, further aged on grapefruit. This beer is complex blend drawn from 12 select oak barrels, and fermented with more than 4 strains of Brettanomyces and several strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria. We used the whole grapefruit! Chopped up to expose interior of fruit. So there is character from the zest, pith, and juice cells. We even juiced and zested some for good measure!
