I stopped in to Iron Hill in Lancaster for some bottles of their sours, but did not have luck in getting all of them. However, one of the sours was on tap, the Oak Aged Cherry Quad. The beer pours a dark brown color with a thin filmy tan head. The aroma consists of vinegar, sour cherries, and raisin. The taste is sour and puckering with lots of sour cherry, some sugar, vinegar, raisin, and chocolate hints. The finish is dry with oak and leaves a lingering vinegar taste. The alcohol content is not available online, but I would estimate it to be approximately 10.0% ABV. The sour induction to a quad provided a wonderfully craft beer. The quad style is thick enough to add extra flavors and mouth feel to the beer, and doesn’t let the vinegar flavor get carried away on the palate.
