Although the emphasis in today's trends is on exciting flavors, added fruits, seeds, and extra ingredients, even the most fully-flavored batch cannot become special without a good base beer.
The Foundation Series explores this issue: here we have bottled "base juices" that were later expanded with at least one exciting ingredient, removing the final beer from its original flavor and style.
The Foundation bottles aim to present these original flavor and style characteristics. These are typically full-bodied batches that fully match the original style expectations, and which almost never end up on beer consumers' tables in this form - this deficiency is filled by Foundation Seres.
Our second batch is a successful fruity sour in its time, deepened by the large amount of sour cherry and currant. The tonka bean added later is missing from this iteration, so we can get to know the state before the spicy - almond - pastry line.
