Description
Wicked Weed have a talent for Sour Ales, and Montmaretto, a blended Sour aged in Cabernet wine casks is proof. Pouring vivid blood-red, Montmaretto gets its flavours from a careful blend of two different beers aged with fresh cherries and almonds respectively.
The bouquet is a full-on mix of lemon yoghurt, with juicy cherries and a subtle amaretto almond character backed with hints of oak and latex. This deeply elegant character is echoed on the palate, lifted by the fizzy sherbet carbonation and zingy lactic sourness that fill the palate with more juicy cherries and soft almond tones. The ensemble concludes with a long, mouthwatering tartness that makes this beer such a superb example of the style.
