Update from Cisco Brewers (woods series)
May news from Cisco Brewers in Nantucket!
We are proud to note that our White Woods won a Bronze Medal at the World Beer Cup in April! (category 18 Wood and Barrel aged sour beer)
White Woods
Unfiltered base ale brewed with malted wheat and flaked oats. 18 months in used french oak Chardonnay barrels with proprietary blend of micro flora have created perfumes of lemon blossom, sandalwood, and tropical fruit. Lychee, nectarine, and white peach on the palate. Nice balance of oak-chardonnay richness and lactic bacterial contributions.
5.3% abv – Release: Oct 1, 2009.
Other Woods Series currently available:
Cherry Woods
Wheat based ale aged in oak for 12 months with proprietary bugs and whole sour cherries. This beer is quenching, dry, and visually stunning.
4.7% abv
Dark Woods
Black beer with khaki lacing. Ripe red fruit, oak, and toasted almonds. Medium bodied and dry. Brettanomyces fermentation in Sryah barrels.
ABV 7.7%
