Livery Barrel Aged Maillot Jaune

Brewed by The Livery
Style: Sour Ale
Benton Harbor, Michigan USA

Hand bottle from my friend WeeHeavySD. Huge thanks Jon! Shared at PP bottle shop with hapjydeuce. Light orange amber color. Lots of brett bubble gum in the aroma. Plasticy phenolic brett aroma, like an all-Brett beer. I like these bubblegumish all Brett beers. Sourness is mild. Much like a homebrew I tried from Francois_MTL. A little tang on the tongue. Fun and interesting gives bonus points.

Big thanks to Ken for sharing. Really enjoyed this one. From growler. Hazy orange with white head. Tropical-fruity-yeasty nose, sweetish, with notes of yellow tomato, honey, floral. Wow. Flavor goes slightly sour, with musty lemon, unripe pineapple, then mildly bitter and pretty dry. Lighter and more refreshing than nose or abv would suggest. Pretty damn nice.

Growler shared by kmweaver. Beautiful hazy honey colored body with a large off-white head. Nose of deep, yeasty creamed oranges, tannic pinot noir barrels - a nice note of wine grapes... wonderfully dry and fruity in the nose. Flavor is massively dry and tannins, strange, complex, with a strong white wine character, some cracker malts, medium to full body. Really unique and creative beer. Prickly, lightly tart, overall just very impressive.

Growler, courtesy of BBB63. Thanks, Mike! Pours a pulpy, tarnished copper-brown color; significant, creamy light khaki head with excellent retention and fine-bubbled lacing; gorgeous, glistening pour. Lots of tart grapefruit, pitty and acidic lemons, and bright, tart fruit character in the aroma; reminds me quite a bit of some of the characteristics of the BA Agent 99; gorgeous grapefruit and zesty lemon and lime peel; touch of toasty wood presence; really great nose on this. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of pitty, zesty citrus (lemons, grapefruit) upfront; solid levels of acidity; tartly sour; very dry at the core; some toastiness and vinous notes (mildest tannic presence) from the wood; incredibly generous, zesty, pitty, dry sour ale. Another great barrel-aged offering from The Livery; assertively sour; I could (and desperately wanted to) drink a ton of this. Lengthy finish: dry, pitty grapefruit and lemons, dry crackery malts, some soft toastiness and vinous acidity from the barrel; just excellent.

Courtesy of arcdz. Cloudy light amber body with a medium beige head. Big toasted coconut and raisin nose with vanilla and dough. The flavor is lightly sweet, mildly sour with caramel, raisins, light berry and bread. Medium body is very soft with moderate carbonation.

Growler, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a hazy gold-amber with a white ring. Big fruity aroma, of apricots and plums. Taste has a lot of fruit and malt, with the sweet sharpness of underripe plums. Lingering sour fruitiness. Really tasty sour ale.

Fresh Growler from the Brewery via my man in IN, Mike BBB63. Shared with bikesandbeer and my gf Cyn. Pours orange with a nice bright white half finger head. Big tropical citrus nose, lots of orange tangarine in there. Nose has a mango character, my girlfriend did a good job catching this note and describing it the way we couldn’t. Taste is sweet some what tart, I can feel a bit of the wine influence, its pretty unique and interesting. Really light and summery, great beer. I’d drink this all the time if I could. Yum. Also this is such a great slight sour that serves as a great overall beer.

tap at the livery....poured a slightly hazy orange brown with a short-lived soapy white head clinging to the edges....a really fruity aromatic nose consisting of tropical and citrus fruits. not too much barrel influence.....flavor was tart and citrusy with an abundance of fruit. soft carbonation and very refreshing overall......a really great way to start off the day.
