The Bruery Oude Tart

“Pleasant rounded aroma with vanilla, berry, and a bit of cinnamon spice. The flavor is a baker’s delight—mellow Chinese cinnamon, Door County cherries, pillowy vanilla—giving the impression of pie. Restrained, but packed with flavor.”

“Bright lemon, candied lemon, rosemary notes in the aroma. Smooth, crisp flavor, with lemon zest and lemon flesh dominating a low bread backbone. Rosemary notes show up later and linger into a lemony herbal finish.”

**Aroma:** “Malty sweet, dark peaty and earthy aromas, and aged port notes. Light caramel, cherry and plum, very light pineapple, moderate green apple. Light acidity, a little sourness. Walking through the forest after a light rain.” **Flavor:** “Dark fruit, strong acidity. Moderate tart notes up front with a green-apple note in the middle of the sip. As it warms the green apple gives way to a rich sourness that is obvious but doesn’t overpower the substantial esters that add a lot of depth to this beer. Apple, pineapple, and passion fruit deliver a refreshing complexity.” **Overall:** “The dark fruits are enjoyable, and the aftertaste is quite nice with the fruit and acidity lingering for some time. There’s a nice sour that’s a bit overshad- owed by the intense green-apple notes. If you want a sour that tingles without dissolving your tongue and offers some interesting fruity notes to boot, this is your beer.”
