As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Wood- and Barrel-Aged Sour Beer covers lager, ale or hybrid beers aged in wood or in contact with wood, with acidity from bacteria; ABV, IBU and color vary with the underlying style. A barrel-aged sour with fruit and dry hops at 4.9% fits that description.
