Golden Angel
Apricot and a rustic stone fruit character define Golden Angel, a 7% barrel-aged American sour ale from Wicked Weed in Asheville. It matures in 500-liter puncheons with 1 pound per gallon of whole apricots, then is refermented on another 4 pounds per gallon: 5 pounds of apricots per gallon in total.
