Fox Leap
Wild Ale Aged on Cherries
Foxes are known to enjoy fresh cherries—as are our brewers. We take nearly two years to make each batch of this blend of wild ale: one part we age for twelve months in bourbon barrels and the other we sour in a stainless steel tank for eighteen months. After blending, we age it on 3,250 pounds of local balaton and montmorency cherries for an additional four months. The prize: a sour beer filled with fresh notes of tart cherry, malty undertones, and balanced sourness. Take the leap into this bounty of cherry goodness.
