Sampled at GA Craft Brewers Challenge <P> This is mostly a Flemish Brown (dark sour ale) in all aspects. The aroma is of Sourdough, with some lime, plum and peach- yeastiness is muted. The wonder of this beer is all of the complexities to its flavor - almost like a saison with the barnyard elements and strange grasses. This is surely an artisinal brew with a smooth, yet dry finish.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2005 Wow. This hazy copper-brown beer has a big head. The crazy-complex old fruit aroma has a slightly vegetal aspect as it warms. There’s a bit of horse blanket and tobacco (actually old tobacco barn if you’ve ever been in one) hanging underneath. The flavor is all of that plus the slight sourness make for one truly interesting beer that could fully pass as a true product of Belgium instead of one from the home of the University of Georgia. Even the judges of the Georgia Craft Brew Challenge said that this beer would have won Best of Show had it been entered under the right category. The brewer intended it to be an Old Bruin, but the beer accidently was entered by clerical staff at the bar as a Belgian dark strong, which isn’t supposed to be sour. Sadly, this misclassification knocked it from contention despite the raves it received.
