De Nouveau Mêlé

Sour wheat beer aged with cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries

De Nouveau Mêlé is a wheat beer that we age on a blend of locally sourced fruits. Right after we pulled a batch of Pick Your Own (a tart, wild ale) of off these fruits—cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries—we filled the tank back up with wheat beer. With only around a month of aging, the beer is transformed. To its already spicy and citrusy notes, the fruit adds a variety of tart berry flavors. In the end, De Nouveau Mêlé finds a delicate, and drinkable, balance between sour and sweet.

Sour Beers

Tartness can be found in a wide variety of beers—and can be added to beers in a wide variety of ways. You’ll find sourness in beer from souring bacteria, from fresh fruit, and sometimes from wild microflora floating in the Maine air.
