Rogueone (410), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 12, 2008 Batch 001 thanks to moejuck. This is a very sexy beer. Pours an alluring and effulgent tangerine. Sweet/tart aroma of citrus fruits and a musky oak funkiness. Initially sweet, followed by a refreshing - not biting - sourness, then fades gracefully off the palate.
kosko20 (213), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Dec 30, 2008 Aroma is lovely, funk, chardonney, and elements of fruit. Pour is slightly hazy, slightly clear hay, orange with thick white head. Flavor is smooth and clean...odd for sour...chardonney, funk, and white grapes. Palate nice clean sourness...supplication slightly better. jcwattsrugger (4271), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Dec 20, 2008 12.70 oz bottle-pours a big foamy to shaving cream off white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is yeast, yeast, lemon, funky/vinegar. Taste is tart/sour lemon, yeast, vinegar/sour, woody, some spice, musty. Nicely done sour ale, but not my taste. Interesting. Occasional. Dry finish. Medium body. Thanks mfielden for picking this out. emacgee (1297), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Dec 15, 2008 This is one of my favorite sours. Very tart and acidic nose and flavor, yeasts bring a very tolerable palatable sourness to the brew. Warmth definitely does this one well as it brings out the tannic, spicy, vanilla flavors of the oak. Some mild citrusy hop character comes through. Sits in your mouth with the perfect carbonation and a wonderful tartness. luttonm (150), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 12, 2008 Draft Brouwers Big Wood 08. Hazy amber with creamy, distinct head. citrusy sour nose. some residual sugar that balances a great, bright and perfect sourness. very smooth with big oaky notes. nice lacing, not too big but so refined. a great sour. trevor211 (204), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 11, 2008 On draft at Brouwer’s Big Wood 08. Pours a bright yellow gold with good head retention. The aroma takes tart citrus - lemon and grapefruit - and adds some barnyard funk and a bit of bubble-gum sweetness. The flavor brings tart citrus to the forefront, but again – a great sweetness to counter what might otherwise be too acidic. The balance in this one is beautiful. Great stuff!
