Sour Rosé Wild Ale

Much better than I was expecting. I usually don’t care for “rosé” sour beers/ciders but this was very good. — 4 years ago

Such purity of peach with the fringes of well balanced sourness. — 5 years ago

Origins Burgundy Sour Ale

On our sofa for Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Juanjo Mena is leading BRITTEN (Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes), MOZART (Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat) with the talented Garrick Ohlsson on piano and then concluding with BRAHMS (Symphony No. 3).

We're experiencing intense thunderstorms coming through the area tonight and generally the BSO staff prevents people from gathering on the Lawn ever since a patron was struck by lightning in 2008... So for safety, we're at home enjoying beer tonight! Thank goodness for radio simulcasts!

Color is red-purple-brown, still translucent but dark. Mostly a still beer, no notable bubbles at all. Sour/cherry/oak aspects on the nose. Palate is mild-sour, which is good if you're new at these styles of beer, it's more welcoming. Palate is distinctly tart cherry, with a lingering of oak in the finish. Nice accomplishment by the brewmaster in blending of barrel-aged stocks, smooth and enjoyable!

Terre Magique Speciation Artisan Ales Collaboration Saison

Significantly better than the Grisette, this is a collaboration with Speciation, another (relatively) new brewery in Michigan. Terrific sour that reminds me of something I had at Crooked Stave, this is impressive. — 5 years ago

Petite Sour (Rosé)

On our sofa for Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Juanjo Mena is leading BRITTEN (Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes), MOZART (Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat) with the talented Garrick Ohlsson on piano and then concluding with BRAHMS (Symphony No. 3).

Color is a translucent pink-orange, mostly still (almost no carbonation natural or otherwise). Sour/Fruity aspects on the nose. Palate is a sour...leading with fruit possibly derived from cherry or blackberry, or at least those are the notes I pick up. Very refreshing, I love sours, domestic or imported!
