A Note on This Beer

“This sour really shocked me when I first tried it. I wasn’t expecting such a wonderful juicy fruit character. It’s so refreshing and just brings me back to growing up and having a big glass of OJ with my breakfast” @Brad Cridge of The Rare Barrel

It seems the Oak-Aged Sour specialists at The Rare Barrel managed to bottle up a glimmer of childhood bliss! 

It’s called Juice Elixir (2020), and it’s packed to the brim with real oranges, carrots, and ginger for buckets of bright, cheerful flavors. 

The brewers describe the use of carrots in today’s brew as a “step into the unknown.” And, as Brad and I can attest, it totally paid off. 

After months of fermenting in Oak Barrels, they blend Juice Elixir’s earthy base with oranges for that sunshiney-touch of citrus, balanced by an inviting warmth from the ginger.

Every succulent taste features layers of tropical juice and subtle carrot sweetness, rounded out with tart complexity. Absorbing each lush sip, I imagine myself stumbling down my childhood staircase, prepping for that morning-saving swig of freshly-squeezed OJ. 

With a bottle of Juice Elixir in the fridge, you too can experience a little dose of nostalgia anytime you want.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

I was hoping to get some notes or carrot, orange, ginger, or heck even the barrel. But to me, i just got the sour. Texture was smooth, though. I wouldn't buy it again.

Really cool flavor. Tastes like a combo of beer and something from a juice bar, which exactly what I expected. Very cool.

Juicy, Tart, Zingy, Potent. Its got this really Earthy sniff to it as if the Oak Barrels and Carrots don't really mix well. Definitely taste better than it smells. Love the natural Orange Juice hue it has.

Flavors are somewhat difficult to identify, but still present. Not overwhelmingly tart. Finishes with a pleasantly mild bitterness.

Good beer but not a personal preference. Carrot and ginger were well balanced and gave a Spicy kombucha flavor but a bit too tart for me
