Wiley Roots
At the beginning of 2020, Wiley Roots launched A Visit from the Fruit Lady to follow up with the success of Slush, a moderately-tart fruited sour ale series, by adding more fruit to the recipe to create a new smoothie-like sour ale series. Smoothie-style sours like Visit from the Fruit Lady use unfermented fruit to produce a smoothie-like consistency, similar to a Jamba Juice or Odwalla juice, but with alcohol. Smoothie-style sour ales have been growing in popularity across the country, creating a new beer trend that breweries are having a difficult time keeping up with.
