Pinot Soir: A Masterful Sour Ale from 8 Wired Brewing Pinot Soir is a captivating sour ale from the renowned 8 Wired Brewing Company in New Zealand. This beer is the result of a meticulous two-year aging process in French oak Pinot Noir barrels, blending malted barley and wheat to create a truly unique and complex flavor profile. The aroma of Pinot Soir is a tantalizing blend of tart and fruity notes, with hints of sour cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Underlying these vibrant fruit notes are delicate aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle earthy funk, creating a harmonious and inviting bouquet. On the palate, Pinot Soir delivers an intensely sour experience with a balanced acidity. The complex flavors of red wine grapes, cherries, and raspberries are complemented by the nuanced barrel-aging characteristics, such as oak, vanilla, and subtle tannins. The medium-light body and effervescent carbonation provide a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, leading to a lingering, tart finish.
