hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sour and oak character as Avancé. Avancé is a strong sour ale that Allagash has brewed since 2010. Molasses, date sugar, white cane sugar and dark candi sugar go into the wort alongside barley, Munich and caramel malts, and four Belgian-style yeast strains ferment it before it spends a year in a large oak foudre with Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. The beer then rests on fresh local strawberries. Strawberry preserves and toasted oak open the aroma; berries, more oak and a dark, molasses-like depth follow in the flavor, ending in a warm, gently sweet finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
