Halcyon: Shifting Sands: Currant
Organic barrel aged sour gold with black currant • 7.3% • Halcyon Barrel House
Halcyon Barrel House focuses in on a new feature fruit, black currant, in this edition of the Shifting Sands Series.
History & Style
Shifting Sands is an organic sour golden ale that is in essence, the canvas for each edition of this beer. Each version of Shifting Sands features a different treatment of varieties of fruit, re-fermented and aged in barrels or foeders. The idea behind this project is to play with various fruit re-fermentation in a semi-constant environment, creating each time a balanced beer that both showcases the fruit used, and respects the base sour gold, Shifting Sands.
Tasting Notes
Shifting Sands Currant pours a deep pinkish-red, with soft pink foam that retreats quickly. The aroma is dominated by herbal, fruity and peppery black currant, echoed by a hint of wine. The first sip is upfront acidity, transporting fruity currant goodness and a light spicy character. With spritzy carbonation, moderate tannins help dry out a finish that lingers sour and sweet.
