Barn Owl No. 15
Barn Owl No. 15 opens with a prominently sour character that frames bright citrus, cinnamon and cherry aromas—a distinctly tart profile where stone fruit brightness meets spice. On the palate, ripe strawberry and red currant lead, shadowed by crushed almond and subtle vanilla, which soften the acidity without erasing it. At 6.5%, the beer sits light enough to drink across an evening, neither aggressive nor shy. The sourness is the grammar here; everything else—the fruit, the spice, the almond depth—hangs from it. A sour ale for those who want their refreshment with edges.
