Commercial Description:
An Ølfabrikken guest brew. For the third time we have invited one of our colleagues to come by and do any brew he or she would like. Gunnhild Kolvereid Brewmaster at Brewpub Copenhagen has made a sour brown ale brewed with a normal Belgian ale yeast as well as brettanomyces, pediococcus and lactic acid bacteria. The beer has been matured on french oak and sour cherries and bottle conditioned for six moths before release. It is bottled with brettanomyzes which provides the beer with a nice sparkle underscoring the refreshing sourness. Unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

Bottle, corked and caged via trade with KimJohansen brought to holiday tasting at alohacs. How is this rated so low, its damn tasty. Pours copper with a tan ring. Nose is big super tart with some cherry. Taste is tart, with cherry and overall very nice, really damn potent sour, with acidic tart notes. Damn good with a lot of carbonation.

Received 375 ml bottle via trade with Papsoe and sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest. Bottle pop explosion was cool, yet pours a hazy reddish brown brew with a a thick off-white head that quickly dissipates to a film top. Aroma of tart cherries, light vegetable, vanilla and a touch of oak. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of light tart cherries, a little yeast, sour dough bread and some spice. Finish has a semi-dry tart aftertaste that quickly disappears.

Sour aroma and flavor. This beer is a combination of styles with the sour acidity and vinegar-like flavor of a Flanders brown and the yeasty, barnyard, wild quality of a saison. It reminds me of Orval, but with the addition of cherries and lots of yeast, it certainly is a fruit beer. Real fruit flavor. Light red color.
