About this beer
This is the 18th of 33 labels we have from New Holland Brewing. It is one of 93 fruited sour labels approved in November 2019. Its label was approved 13 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“After a time of reflection, we have recommitted to push further into our passion and creativity, and embrace vulnerability. As a result, we are embarking on The Journey: an innovative series of wild, barrel-aged, and exploratory beers. Each of these will tell the story of our dedication to brewing with an open, creative, and transparent spirit. We invite you to grab a glass or two and explore with us! The first step on this journey was The Calling: the internal drive to pursue unique and exceptional flavors. Aptly named, this foeder-aged sour ale is fermented with our in-house sour culture and finished on over 3,500 pounds of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, fueling a spontaneous secondary fermentation. AROMA: FRESH JAM, WHITE GRAPE, MELON, PINK PEPPERCORN, FLORAL NOTES FLAVOR NOTES: RICH RASPBERRIES AND TART BLACKBERRIES, STONE FRUIT, SPICE”
