Sanctification
A golden ale in which Brettanomyces gives some sour notes, though fewer than a beer aged with Lactobacillus and Pediococcus would show. Russian River's account calls the finished beer rather refreshing on a warm day. Its account heads it "100% Brettanomyces Fermented Golden" yet adds that primary fermentation was not 100% Brett. Untappd files it under Wild Ale at 4.75% ABV.
