The Bruery Sour in the Rye


The Bruery Sour in the Rye. Been sitting in the Dedicated Beer Fridge for months. tonight's the night. Gonna be all right. Ain't no body gonna stop me now.

Sour rye ale aged in oak barrels. Deliciously sour, bursting with spicy rye notes and hints of oak from the barrels it was aged within.

Clear, copper/amber coloring, slim to no head, small ring of white foam.

Aroma: Ah! Belgian wild, Belgian funk, Belgian sour, all up in here. A little bit of fruit, but so much of the above. Whoa! Ahhh. It's everything you wanted, and more.

Taste: hot bite of sour up front, nothing but the tart, crazy tart, funky tart, wild tart. Lean body, clean flavor, continual bite after bite, with a slightly spicy malt kick. Cherry and berry, a little apple, with a vinegar twist. Big and bountiful, lean and funky, all that in one. Deeee-licious.

Bright, flush, fervent flavor. Resounding sourness. Belongs up there with the best of them. Wow. This is a wicked, wonderful mess. Love it.
