Odell Zard-Alu Sour Apricot is on deck by the Colorado based brewery.
Love fruited sours? Odell Zard-Alu Sour Apricot is a fruit focused sour, featuring a blend of Brettanomyces yeast, and Lactobacillus.
Apricots are thought to be native of the Persian territory, where they were commonly referred to as Zard-Alu. These precious stone fruits were so highly revered that they were often used a commodity in the markets. The stones were not to be wasted. Much like this brew. While peach and pear-like flavors mingle in the background, as Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus create the tie that binds all the components. The end result is a complex ale that is playfully sour, light, and refreshing.

Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (w/ Apricots)

It’s a talented group of beer makers they have at Odell. Always classy brews with layers of complexity for people who like fruit notes in their beers without using a piece of fruit for every drop produced. That shit is called fruit juice and they sell it at wal-mart. Game on.
