San Marcos, CA –The Lost Abbey is set to release the 19th edition in its Veritas line of beers, an ongoing experiment of the relationship between fruit, Brettanomyces and barrel aging. The general on-sale for Veritas 019 will begin on Tuesday, March 28th at Noon.
Veritas 019 is a Blonde American Sour aged on French Oak for over a year before being spiked with Raspberries. Pouring shockingly pink, Veritas 019 begins with sweet aromas of rich berries and notably peppery Brett. Intense, Vibrant Raspberry character leading to a refreshingly sour middle with notes of funk on the finish.
“
Having this deep of a Raspberry character while maintaining the delicateness of our Blonde Sours has us very excited about this beer.,” Tomme Arthur, COO and Cofounder of The Lost Abbey said. “The last time we did a fruited sour this intense was Cable Car Kriek back in 2011.” New for this iteration of Veritas, The Lost Abbey will have a Veritas Preview Weekend. Beginning on Friday, March 24th and lasting through the weekend (while supplies last), Veritas 019 will be available on draft and include a new Veritas taster glass with purchase.
