Parallel 49 Rye Sour Old Fashioned 2018

This spicy and robust rye sour is our take on the Old Fashioned cocktail. We fermented this small batch brew with a complex mixed-culture blend with over 20 different isolates and carefully aged it in Sagamore Spirit rye whiskey barrels for four months with the addition of sweet orange peel. This cocktail-inspired beer has notes of charred oak, cloves, cardamom, and vanilla, aromas of sweet orange peel and nutty rye, and is balanced with a moderate acidity and hints of bitter tannins.
