The Bruery, Placenta, Orange County, CA.
Dark, Burgundy hue, slim head, utterly opaque.In the nose: Sour hits first, followed by cherries, dark malt, oak. Dark fruit, raisins, fig. Sharp, acidic, balanced, and beautiful.
In the mouth: Tart. Juicy. Dark fruits aplenty, rich and oak-edged. Cherries shine through. Intense sour. Full bodied, long sour, fruity finish. Vast complexity
This one was terrific, probably best shared with friends, though. I could not finish it entirely, and saved the last 2 ounces in the fridge. Couldn't pour it out. Saved for breakfast.
Thanks to Julie, again!
Oude Tart is a Flemish-Style Red Ale aged in red wine barrels. It’s pleasantly sour with hints of leather, dark fruit and toasty oak. While this is one of the more classic beer styles that we make, it’s not a style that you can find too often in the United States. Originating in style from the Flanders region of Belgium, near the French boarder, this dark, sour ale has roots deep in brewing history and predates most of the ales that have become popular in contemporary culture. We’re doing our best to keep the tradition alive by brewing and aging this beer here on the west coast.
