Hangar 24 Barrel Roll No. 05: Chandelle - Oak Aged Sour Ale Hangar 24 Craft Brewing Redlands, California
Beer style: Sour / Wild Beer Ref: ratebeer.com Apr2024
Common descriptors are Chandelle
Just as a pilot perfectly balances the climb and turn of his aircraft
when performing the Chandelle, this oak-aged sour ale represents
the perfect balance of fruit and funk. To create Chandelle, we filled
oak barrels with Polycot (our Local Fields Series wheat beer brewed
with locally grown apricots) and then added fresh apricots,
brettanomyces yeasts and souring bacteria. Additional apricots were
added to the barrels during the twelve month aging process. The
result is a bright golden liquid with a fulsome apricot aroma. This
beer delivers a zesty tang to the palate, balancing the fresh flavors
of the fruit with a pleasantly sour taste created by the wild yeast
and bacteria. Chandelle will age nicely for up to a year.
Additional Information:
Chandelle: Consists of a maximum climb, maximum
bank combination to obtain the greatest altitude gain
for a given airspeed and at the same time making a
180° course reversal. |
