A Berry New Take on New Holland’s Incorrigible
New Holland Brewing (Holland, MI) is adding a new rendition of their Incorrigible White Sour Ale, released last October.

Local blueberries fuel a second flavorful fermentation of this beer, while it resides for several months in our Hour of Funk sour cellar. Wild yeast and bacteria contribute tart sourness and complex mineral character, prior to an oak-barrel conditioning with Michigan blackberries.
New Holland Incorrigible Reserve will be packaged in 22oz bottles.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Blackberries. Blueberries. Oak aged)
Availability: 22oz Bottles
Arrival: August, 2014
