Empyrean Brewing Company Spellcaster Sour Apple Ale
Pucker up my pretties, as this juicy red will enchant you with fresh apple delight! But no fear, this is beer, and the sour will become clear as our spell is woven completely! We brew this red ale using a novel new yeast that sours the beer as it ferments. Also in the mix, apple juice concentrates to balance the hint of caramel malt and intense sour, creating a beer that is reminiscent of sour apple candy.
