Complex russet-clouded tan-headed oak-aged ‘wild ale’ saddles soured brettanomyces yeast clumps with endless wood-dried raspberry puree tartness. Sharp prickly hop bite reinforces lambic-like raspberry vinaigrette acidity, heightening vinous yellow grape-skin esters, vinegary cider sharpness, and fizzy sparkling champagne lilt. Sour-candied cherry pucker picks up tertiary rosé, burgundy, and bourbon illusions as well as eye-squinting lemon liming. Solvent vinegar-like astringency and mossy barnyard musk deepen funky sour ale disposition.

(TIMMERMANS) BOURGOGNE DES FLANDRES
Significant 8.4-ounce Flanders-styled Flemish sour ale with sweet burgundy essence aided by dried raisin-prune sourness and oaken cherry-raspberry tartness. Lactic brown-sugared chocolate-vanilla midst leverages wood-singed earthen grains and plush floral potpourri. Not unlike finest port wines and perfect as after dinner treat, this slow sipper is highly recommended.
