Brau Brothers Frame Straightener

Had during a sampling at a Hy Vee Wine & Spirits. Good, but disappointing. Nice yeast character but a lame malt backing.

Bottle in a Springfield hotel room. Bottle poured a dull, dirty amber color. Honestly this beer sucks. I couldn’t even guess what style this was. Has definitely gone sour and is just a total mess. Of the infected beers I have had, this is probably the worst.

shared with unclemike Light hops and grain on the aroma. Orange copper color that’s crips and clear with high carbonation. Light bready body with some faint yeast on the finish. A little chemical hint on the finish

Smell of slight citrus i am thinking oranges, clear amber color, first sip has the usual belgian notes but a grassy aftertaste. Not that good for a limited release.

This didnt smell all that bad, Pours amber color, a little head. This bottle tasted infected, sour in a bad way, maybe its just a batch we got in Iowa. Didnt care to taste it again before pouring it out.

Not sure what the Brau Brothers were trying to accomplish with this, but the only thing Belgian about this beer is that there are no hops and it is sour. Not a good lactic sour, but rather an infected acetic sour. Try again Bros.

Crushed with Jakebra. Surprised. Decent Belgian Ale from a no-name brewery. Not too complex, but decent. Many more positive qualities than negative. I wouldnt go looking for it again, but if it was offered Id take it.

Deep copper body with a lot of fast moving bubbles. There is a decent medium khaki head on top. The aroma has some rich bread and amaretto. There is a little hint of dried cherries and cinnamon. The taste has some rich, slightly burnt bread crust with some figs. The finish is stewed black tea. This is ok, but I would prefer some more sweetness.
