About this beer
This is the 10th of 77 labels we have from Matchless. It is one of 91 fruit beer labels approved in February 2019. Its label was approved 86 days after it was submitted.
From the label“When we were offered more Balaton cherries than we knew what to do with, we made a bunch of pies! The rest went into the beer you now hold in your hands, our Cherry Master Blend. Balaton is by far our favorite cherry to work with in beer and the cherries from our friends at O.P.M.A. in Okanogan, WA are rich in tart pie flavor with a deep sweet cherry aroma. Aged in oak with year old sour brown beer and a small amount of sour ale for a light funky character, this beer has a beautiful balance of sweet and sour acidity by its own resident micro flora for several months to achieve a balance reminiscent of some of our favorite Flanders beers. Drink now for more fruit character or allow beer to continue to mature for a funkier experience.”
