Alvinne Undressed Oud Bruin

Alvinne Undressed, Almost Unhopped Brown Ale, the base beer for Morpheus Wild and Kerasus, undressed for the fans of the true "oud bruin" style. Brewed and bottled by Brouwerij Alvinne, Moen, Belgium. 6.9% ABV. Ingredients: Water, 5 different malts, crystal sugar, Morpheus yeast, 1 gram of hops.

Dark , nearly black, no head at all.

Aroma: sour fruit, cherries and berries and more. sweet dark malt below, but totally smothered by sour and fruit. Raisins and port wine and more. Good stuff.

Taste: Yow! Huge puckeration! Instense sourness, unrelenting, unswerving, unabashed, unhinged, untenable…how many more un's can I do? Sour cherries, raisins, plum, etcetera, and an intense tartness that ends on a dry note. Very wine-like, rich and flavorful and rewarding.

An incredible experience. Here's one for the bona fide sour-head, certain to please the most persnickety pucker-lover. Right on the money, this. Not surprising from Alvinne. I've yet to be disappointed by these guys.
