Little Sal

Purchased from Tavour. Bottled in November 2025. Pours clear but opaque due to the beautiful deep purple-red hue of the beer. Aggressive pour brings half a glass of purple with red highlighted foam. Doesn’t stick around or to the glass. Aroma is barnyard funk with a twist of sweetness. Hay, grass, earth and acidity explode from the glass. No blueberries but I don’t expect it based on the mild aroma of a blueberry. Taste is a ride on the tart and sour rollercoaster. Tart up front with the middle swelling with sweetness before succumbing to sour acidity mixed with hay and earth in the finish. It lingers for a few seconds. Medium body with a medium or more carbonation that is large bubbled on the front of the mouth while small, Champaign like on the edges. Dry with lingering effervescence on the side of the tongue and acidity throughout. It has been a very long time since I have appreciated the nuances of a fresh(er) Allagash beer. Darn tasty. This is in your face acidity, unapologetically. Thank you. Avoiding the sun on a 90 degree day is more pleasant with great beer. I would have this again. Enjoy!
