Firestone Walker Krieky Bones
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Perhaps it was a way to motivate us into producing beer, or maybe it was a desperate hint at a Birthday gift. Either way, David Walker cornered us one day and asked for a sour cherry fermented beer for his 50th birthday. Nothing more was said, but we took note and the opportunity to create something new. On the occasion of David’s golden jubilee, we celebrate his mid-life mortality check with Walker’s Krieky Bones! This beer begins its life as a Flanders Red style beer aged eight months in a 2200 gallon French Oak Foeder, sour cherries were added and allowed a secondary fermentation. The aroma is of cherry pie complete with flavors of piecrust and spicy notes. Vienna malt notes give way to assertive acidity and firm carbonation to finish. A santé and happy 50th birthday David!

No. 003 release
Smells quite tart, flavor is puckering but somewhat less sour than I expected. Very clean, bright cherry flavor, dry, savory-ish lip smacking finish. Another keeper from Firestone Walker.

A deep red color, with an effervescent sour scent. A lovely drying sweet/sour flavor.
