Fox Leap
Wild Ale Aged on Cherries
It takes us nearly two years to make each batch of this fruited wild ale. We age a Belgian-style quadrupel and a sour blonde ale in foudres for about eighteen months, blend them, and then let that beer rest on 3,250 pounds of local Balaton and Montmorency cherries for another three months. The prize: a beer filled with fresh notes of tart cherry, malty undertones, and balanced sourness.
