HUB Piledriver

Piledriver, originally uploaded by Ben McLeod.

Piledriver - premiered out at Biketobeerfest - is a Belgian ale, aged for 18 months in 4 different barrels with lots and lots of cherries.

I'm not sure if this would fit the definition of a sour beer, but it sure is tart - and incredibly complex. With tastes of bourbon and cherries floating in your mouth, it's a surprisingly refreshing beer. I wouldn't have been able to drink many of them (unlike the Totally Radner, or even Gayle's Pale), but I was surprised at how well this barrel-aged beer went down.

ABV: 8.5%
