A new bombshell has entered the villa: Blood Moon Rising.
Your usual fall beer might want to get nervous. The brewers at The Brew Kettle have created a new pilot sour ale brewed with real blood orange and coming in at 8% ABV. It brings sunset color, a citrus punch, and a little sour attitude to the season.
Blood Moon Rising pairs a subtle, pucker-inducing tartness with the bright character of blood orange. It’s a little unexpected for fall, and that’s part of the appeal. When the evenings get cooler, there’s still plenty of room for something citrusy in your glass.
The official description captures its personality perfectly:
“A sour ale forged with real blood orange that looks like a sunset but kicks like a midnight mule, wrapping a subtle, pucker-inducing citrus punch in an incredibly deceptive 8% blanket.”
With a name like Blood Moon Rising, this beer practically calls for a crisp evening, a seat outside, and a little time to watch the sky change. Just take your time with it. That easygoing citrus character comes with a full 8% ABV.
As a pilot beer, Blood Moon Rising gives the brewers at The Brew Kettle another opportunity to explore something new. If you enjoy a sour with a citrus twist, this one deserves a spot on your fall beer list.
Blood Moon Rising will be making its way to all Brew Kettle pubs soon. Check our on-tap pages to see when it’s available at your favorite location, and come try a taste of fall’s sour side.
