DESTIHL Metallurgy Sour Collection: Pear
Wild Specialty Beer6.0% ABV10 IBU
DESTIHL BreweryNormal, IL
Metallurgy is the technique or science of working with metals, and the sour ales in this unique collection are aged for about a year in stainless steel rather than oak barrels to maintain sour ales in their purest form. This metal-aged purity and simplicity is further complemented by relying solely on the wild yeasts and other microflora naturally occurring on the fruits to beautifully and spontaneously sour these beers, bridging all gaps between ciders, wines and ales. Sour Pear Ale presents with a pronounced aroma of fresh pears and Brettanomyces with light straw color, a mouthfeel and body that is velvety soft from fruit skins, similar to sauvignon blanc wine, and a bright flavor evocative of ripe, fleshy pears.

Destihl Brewery Tenebrous Black Rye IPA
American IPA6.1% ABV74 IBU
DESTIHL BreweryNormal, IL
An American-style Black Ale with the addition of rye in the grist for added spiciness and dryness. Assertive hop bitterness, citrus/floral hop flavor and aroma, medium-high alcohol content and medium body one would expect with a Rye IPA, but distinguished by its black color from debittered black malts and a unique mashing process that reduces the amount of burnt or roasted bitterness, astringency, flavor and aroma from that would otherwise be expected in an American Stout.

Wild Specialty Beer6.4% ABV40 IBU
DESTIHL BreweryNormal, IL
Adambier is a very complex, dark and historically obscure German-style sour ale. The initial impression of rich, dark chocolate malt with touches of fig-like and raisin-like flavors gives way to the caramel-toasty and lightly smoky malt character with low hop presence and bitterness, all sharply cut by a wild lactic sour finish and topped off with tannins from wood aging.
