Choc Brewmasters Signature Michael Lalli Belgian-Style Amber

Brewed by Petes Place / Krebs Brewing Co.
Style: Belgian Ale
Krebs, Oklahoma USA

Bottle poured into a Chimay challis produced a short lived white head that faded away to nothing. The body was a wonderful ruby red in color. I would have never guessed this was a sour by the bottle, now the aroma is a different story. It reminded me of a Flemish red with a ton of sour cherries and apples with a splash of wet horse. The brew is rather light in your mouth with light carbonation. The flavors mimic the nose tons of sour fruit cherries and apples. It was a nice change for me I enjoyed the brew but one glass would be enough at a sitting just like most sours for me. Not a bad brew but not what I expected. Serving type: bottle

Pours a very hazy amber with close to no head. Aroma is tart cherries and yeast. Flavor is very sour, largely tart cherry and nutty undertones. Body is light with high carbonation.

Bottle. First impression was did this beer get infected or was the sourness on purpose? I’ve noticed other raters saying the same, so I guess that’s just how it is. Flavor is light lemon tart and grassy, not much malt of hops present. Slight peppery finish. Not really what I was expecting, but OK. Get it, OK? hahahaha.

Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Berries, malt, and yeast. Wow, almost a sour.....doubt this was intentional but I actually like the lemon peel tart finish. A bit thin bodied, but overall enjoyable.

ABR, 2009. From a bomber. Just a little sour. I think it might have just turned out that way, I don’t think it is intentional, or infected by accident. Simple but good flavor, some sour fruit, no trace of hops.

Sampled during the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, MN. From a 22-oz bomber pours a semi-clear golden amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of Belgian yeast, some bread and caramel malt, a touch of lemon and clove. Taste is medium bodied, slightly tart with flavors of yeast, some dark pitted fruits and cloves. Finish continues a tart aftertaste with some yeast and caramel malt flavors.

[Bottle] Pours a copper color with very little head at all. Aroma of funk, unrefined sugar and some molasses. Biscuit and bread notes dominate the taste, while I didn’t get much in the way of hops at all. A good amount of yeast flavors as well, especially fruits/citrus. A tart finish. Actually a pretty interesting beer that I liked more than some of the other Krebs offerings.

Clouded orange. Aroma has sweet candy notes with amber scents. Taste is waaaaaaaaaay tart. Has a sweet and sour quality to it. Slightly bitter finish. Decent but not something I’d get again.
