Common descriptors are
Sour brown ale with raspberries. SARA club release #2 (2014). Up until this creation, our goal was to focus on what we call "tart" beers - ones that incorporate acidity but are not dominated by it. We’ve grown comfortable with this approach, and our quest for a house flavor has been fruitful. Cellar Palette, a sour brown ale with raspberries, marks a different path for SARA. Longer aging times in wine barrels, more robust use of brettanomyces and bacteria, and creative blending all come together to form this mouth-puckering, but balanced, wonder. For those of you fortunate to have Cellar Palette too, we say "Sante!" 2014 Cellar Release Editor: this is not the 16e release Cellar Pallet.
