From the brewer

Finnriver and Fort George have always had close ties. Tim Ensign (Fort George outside sales manager) and Jana Daisy-Ensign (Finnriver sales representative) not only have a mutual love of fermentation, they have also been happily married for many years. When a collaboration was first proposed, a union of sour cider and sour saison aged in wine barrels made perfect sense.

Who's been drinking this

A quite-tart, but super-balanced, round fruitiness, somewhere between grape and apple. Not too funky, but still complex. It didn't quite taste like other sour beers, but it was definitely sour, and very, very tasty.
