New Belgium Bottleworks 10th Anniversary Wild Ale

Extremely sour and astringent, tastes like a cleaning product. Flavor is not disagreeable, tho, but not smooth either. peppery and fruity esters. Bottle from Ryan Blanksi’s Sourfest- Hollywood, Florida.

Dr. Bill’s ’09. Cloudy dark brown with a thin tan head. Certainly on of the better tasting and smelling beers from New Belgium. Their characteristic stinky yeast strain is still present here, but less so, and mediated by a multitude of other sour fermentation flavors ranging from green apples, to dried flowers, to peppery spice. The body had a ery nice dimension on the palate. Certainly aninteresting beer to try.

Pours a cloudy brown, thin tan head. Obviously, sour notes are most predominate in the nose. But also some tangy sour fruit as well. The flavor certainly follows through with sour fruits, a bit of vinegar, and even a touch of sweet browned sugar as well.

This was one of many rare wild/sour/lambic/gueuze I drank over the weekend and while this was not the best it was one of the most sour. The color seemed a lot lighter than La Folie and a little closer to Le Terroir. It smells super sour but without the hint of glue and lemons I get from la Folie. The flavor is puckery green apples and gives me sour gueuze face. I prefer Le Terroir but this was a nice blend and certainly quite sour. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 09-22-2009 01:08:21

Stone Sour Fest 2009 Poured pale amber. Light nose, citrus, cherries. Taste was a great blend of sourness with funk. light fruitiness and vinegar balance out quite nicely.

Pours deep copper with no head. Very effervescent and lively on the palate. Tart with citrus and other fruits with decent lactic acidity. Excellent oak finish.

On tap at stone sour fest 09. Cloudy dark orange color. fruity malt, strawberries, citrus, sourness, herbal notes, and some funk. Tasty sour.

Stone Sour Fest 09. Didn’t take detailed notes, but the few I have suggest I enjoyed this one. General sour qualities, nicely done.
