Three Floyds Chevalier Bertrand de Guesclin American Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrels with
Blueberries. 8.9 % ABV. 3 IBU. Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, IN.
Clouded, crimson colored, slim, scarlet head.
In the nose: wild, wine forward, blueberries in the back. Slight sweetness, consumed by overpowered sour.
In the mouth: Intense puckering from the start. Immense wine barrel character. Blueberries pop in at the end. medium bodied, long, sour finish. Acidity meets sweet berry flavor and tart, tannin-y wine character. Tart, fruity, tasty. I quite like it.
Higher alcohol doesn't reveal itself until,...whoop, there it is...
This American sour ale is aged in wine barrels and it is named after Bretton Knight and French military commander Bertrand du Guesclin. He was also known as the “Eagle of Brittany” or the “Black Dog” so he’s obviously the perfect historical character to name an American Sour ale after.
