Tonight’s featured beer is The Rare Barrel Cosmic Dust – Golden Sour Beer Aged In Oak Barrels With Hibiscus.

From the The Rare Barrel website: “Cosmic Dust is our golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with hibiscus. This sour is fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria.”

Let’s get started!

Appearance: Pours clear golden honey with light pink tones, a thin light pinkish-white head and nice lacing.

Taste: Stone fruits, tart, sour, citrusy, floral, sweet grains and hibiscus.

Overall: Dry, floral, fruity and sour, The Rare Barrel Cosmic Dust – Golden Sour Beer Aged In Oak Barrels With Hibiscus is delicious.  This 5.4% ABV offering is not over the top tart – exceptionally created and left me wanting much more. Highly recommended!
