A Note on This Beer

The Oak-Aged Sour specialists at The Rare Barrel have managed to bottle up a glimmer of weekend bliss!  

It’s called Yee-Haw Fridays (2020), and they pack it with loads of real strawberries, pineapple, cherries, blood oranges, peaches, and nectarines for bright, cheerful flavors. 

Then, they fuse the kaleidoscope of fresh fruit with a Golden Sour base, and age it for a whopping 9-12 months — intensifying its juicy flavor! 

With each lush sip, I imagine myself wandering the local farmers market on a lazy Sunday. Every succulent taste features layer upon layer of tropical juice and berry-sweetness, rounded out with tart complexity. 

Essentially, it’s a tall glass of freshly squeezed blood orange juice with a dollop of strawberry puree and a splash of nectarine nectar. With a 7.2% ABV to boot, I grab a bottle dripping with ice-cold condensation for a backyard soiree. 

Whether or not it’s Friday already, with a bottle of Yee-Haw Fridays in the fridge, you can experience a little dose of weekend-relaxation anytime you want.

*The fruit-focused brewmasters at The Rare Barrel sport multiple GABF awards!

Quite sour, then vaguely fruity. No distinct fruit flavor. It's good but not worth what I have paid for it. It's not striking me as something special.

I was cautious about this one after finding The Rare Barrel Lotsa Heart just ok. And I am thrilled to say this one is fantastic. Tart but not overly. Just the right amount of sour and the flavors blend nicely. Really enjoyed this beer.

The conglomeration of fruit and oak all whirled into one tart, full flavored beauty is perfect for a hot day.

Classic Rare Barrel taste, missed on the fruit, this was more of a bitter sour.

This definitely had a distinct taste. It was the after taste of the oak barrels that didn’t sit right with me.

This was plenty sour, but the fruit flavors were not identifiable to me and I was missing the notes from the oak barrel aging.

This fried sour runs 7.2% and boasts aromatics of pressed raspberries and lemon zest. The rare barrel is difficult to track down even for me. Everything is so small-batched... this gem was aged for 9-12 months upon brewing and did another year and a half in my cellar. Highly crisp and effervescent... beautifully poured with a light ruby hugh... plenty tart up front! Boasting strawberries, pineapples, cherries, blood oranges, peaches and nectarines... can't say I detect all that, but it's plenty juicy, light on the palate and packs a real sour punch! Perfect on a Friday aaaaand perfect in the 90deg August heat! 🍻😁👍 ⭐⭐⭐💫💫
