Siletz Wooly Bully

Brewed by Siletz Brewing and Public House
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Siletz, Oregon USA

22 courtesy of DA. About 12 months ago I had an infected bottle of this beer, and had wanted to retry it. Derek was kind enough to see it on my want list and to send me a bottle to give it another go. Pour is hazy golden orange, smallish off white head. Aroma of sweet maltiness, some chemical bitterness. Taste is sharply sweet with bright acid bitterness. Palate is medium to thin. Overall a little harsh, not totally for me. Thanks for sending Derek, I had really wanted to like this better.

finally get to try a Kellerbier... pours a dark medium murky brown colour ... wow, this is an interesting style, has a nice mouthfeel but the aftertaste is what is strange(new to me), some sourness and tweakness , but refreshing and not drying out like sour ales ... i can see liking this style alot more with more practice (and different samples) but this beer is still kinda nice. lacing is ’a new rug’ .... the aftertaste is so wicked and different, i can see most people hating this beer, but to the few who love shocking refresh beers and sour ales, should love this!! ..first bottle from BT...

22oz Bomber - Siletz Brewing Company - Siletz, OR
Aroma – Huge infected bottle. Very sweet to off sour aroma.
Appearance – Amber in Color, Thick head and clear.
Flavor – Nasty drain pour beer. The beer was super sour and this was not a Lambic. It was a nasty infected beer.
Palate – Terrible Mouthfeel, horrible texture with a sour finish.
Overall – One of the worst beers I have had in a long time I poured it down the drain I hope the others I got from Siletz are ok.

Bottle from PC Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Now I know why they had this crap on sale for $1.99 for a 22oz. Holy Lord, this was Siletz’s version of the nasty Jelly Bellys they made for Harry Potter movies. I guess Wooly Bully was right on because this one was dead on beef (or buffalo) jerky. Yuck. I’d rather have Coors Light (you know, the dark-side!).

Bottle from PC Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Not much to say about this one. I swear it almost tasted like beef jerky. Which is not all that bad of a taste, but not in a beer. It was sweet and malty. I would have poured it down the drain, but we were camping. This was a tree pour.

Darker golden color, almost no head, virtually no lacing or retention. Aroma is gas, sour malts, sweet malts, uh... not good. Medium bodied, sweet with a somewhat hot finish. I don’t see the point.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey body with a small, off-white head. Smell: Here we go again! Some maltiness squelched in a sea of vinegar and unclean feet. Taste: Just a filthy taste altogether. Malts abandoned to vinegary spoilage, what a shame. Midway into this fiasco you pick up an eerily tart, infectious fruitiness that never lets up. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Siletz is synonymous with drain pours. Different bottles from various sources and various times and they’re always infected. Siletz needs to tackle this issue once and for all or just give it up.

Pours a crappy light rust color with a small thin tan head, and average lacing. Average carbonation with a smell of sweet hops. Tastes of malt and corn with a woody bitter taste. Light on the pallet, this should be avoided.
