Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castleton

Brewed by Captain Lawrence Brewing Company
Style: Sour Ale
Pleasantville, New York USA

Bottle@Dr. Bills Poured cloudy white with minimal head. Grapefruit and yeast aroma and taste with a dry finish.

Cloudy golden yellow; white head. Funky fruit aroma. Flavors are of funky fruit, passion fruit, lemon, pepper, red wine, wood, earth. Strange, complex and tasty.

Pours a cloudy light orange color with no head. Superb aroma of fruits including green apples and grapes, it’s very sour and has a wine quality. Excellent flavor of grapes gummies, green apple, the sourness is mouth puckering, green apples and brett. Let me catch my breath here. Ok, the body is light with an oily texture and gentle carbonation. Amazing, merci Dany!

bottle thanks to holdenn!.....pours a light hazy yellow orange with little to no head. some little white floaties meandering inside the glass....strong nose of white grapefruit juice with not much of anything else. surely this cannot be it!....flavors of tart and acidic grapefruit. period.....i was looking for more more out of this sour ale. it really lacked the complexity to make it shine.

Sampled at "An evening with Pantanap #2". Pale dirty yellow color with slight white head. Sour grapefruit juice aroma, dirty. Flavor is Sour, grapefruit juice, acidic, mango, sour, tart. Medium and sour. The acidity is very unpleasant, I kind of wonder if this was better a bit fresher..

I’m typically underwhelmed by this brewery, but this beer is a winner. Thanks Ryan for sharing. Pour is a hazy gold with a small white head. Some floaties. Aroma is funky, grape, wine and sour. Flavor is much the same...sour, fruity, sweet and a bit funky. Great body. Smooth. I know this rating sucks, as most of mine do. Don’t hate! ;-)

Sampled at "An evening with Pantanap #2". 750ml bottle. Thanks to dickinsonbeer for this beer, a great guy! Pours a murky yellow orange with a white ring of a fizzy head that fades quick. Aroma is sweet and yeasty with grapefruit and spice notes. Flavors are mostly grapefruit and acidity with tropical fruit and oak around the edges. The acidity rapes my mouth, leaving it tart dry and slightly harsh. As it warms the grapefruit juice just takes over and dominates everything. This could use some funky/earthy notes, but overall this is past its prime. 8/3/7/3/15 = 3.6

Bottle thanks to Kan at the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Pours a clear orange with a thin head. Herbal citrus aromas with bready malts and lavender. Citrus flavors, acidic, earthy fruity with a light bitterness. Better than the last bottle.

(750ml bottle) Sampled at Oakes 2007 Christmas party. Thanks Beershine! Cloudy headless with nose of 5-Alive. Flavour is extremely tart, sour lemons. A nice change-up beer at the tasting...
