Sour Ale·United States·8.2% ABV·One of 64 Sour Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Changeling's sour and tart character. Plum and toasty malt lead, then the flavor turns gently but unmistakably tart, with a touch of lingering caramel on the long finish. A blend of dark sour ales aged in previously used wine and whiskey barrels and inoculated with Lactobacillus, it pours a moody roasty brown under a foamy golden head. 8.2% ABV. Fall 2025 limited release, Barrel-Aged, Well Rested.
