The Bruery Rueuze

Aroma: “Moderate sweaty horse Brett with a touch of acidity, touch of pineapple and strawberry, grape and grapefruit, and moderate apricot/peach. A touch of dry or late kettle hops. Notes of lemon tart candy.”

Flavor: “Moderate tartness up front with stone fruit (plum, peach, apricot, very light cherry), and a moderate Brett earthiness (but not bitter). Rich, complex fruitiness accented by high carbonation. Aftertaste is semidry with very enjoyable lacto sourness that’s balanced by enough malt flavor to create a nice, round impression on the tongue.”

Overall: “A thirst-quenching sour with pleasant balance between acidity and sweetness and a significant amount of stone-fruit flavor. This an easy-drinking, yet complex sour. Very well-done. Great sour notes up front with fruitiness of cherry, grapefruit. I love this beer. It’s pure, balanced sourness with great body.”
