Lightship Sour Solera | Headlands Brewing Co
ABV: 5.5%
IBU: 38
Style: Sour - Ale
Actively Produced
Description: SF Beer Week marks the annual release of our Lightship Sour Solera. Starting as our Pt. Bonita Pilsner, this beer is aged in cabernet barrels and is inoculated with a blend of souring yeasts and bugs. This solera style has roots to our very first batch of pilsner as each year we leave a few gallons behind in the barrels to kick off the next year’s batch. Each year is unique as different wild yeasts and bugs vie in the barrel to come out. This year’s version is a blend of the now 4 barrels in the series. Each barrel has its own character with highlights of citrus, melon, subtle hop presence and light stone fruit aromas with a faint vanilla presence from its nap in the oak.
