hopIQ found 10 beers with the same berry and sour character as Little Sal. Little Sal is a barrel-aged sour red ale that Allagash ages on wild lowbush blueberries from a small farm in Windham, Maine. Lactobacillus and pediococcus sour the beer in oak red wine barrels. It pours dark violet with a pink-tinged head. Blueberry and oak dominate the nose with an earthy edge; the palate is juicy and vinous, with blueberry-pie fruit, moderate tartness and a biscuity malt note, before a long, dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
