The Bruery Cuvee Jeune

Lovely sour tang. Mixed with a slight but mellowing wine/grape end note. Easy to drink. great introduction to sours for the uninitiated.

On tap at Stone Sourfest 09. Hazy gold pour. Aroma is funky, barnyard, and attic. Flavor is lightly sour, and not too tart.

On tap at Beachwood. This was my second favorite beer on the night (not counting O. Rouge, which I’ve had multiple times and love). Appears cloudy gold with no head. Aroma is lemon zest, funk and some underripe white peach. Flavor starts with that lemony quality, and moves forwards with Brett notes. Actually reminds me a little bit of RR Temptation in this way. Palate is medium in fullness, not too much carbonation. Finishes with a lemony sour zip, which was very satisfying.

Tasted this at Stone Sour Fest 09 Pours a golden brown hue with no head. Very tarty nose, with hints of some tropical fruits and lots of citrus. Flavor is sour throughout and vert tarty. Medium Mouthfeel, light carbonation

Pours opaque golden brown with no head. Tart fruity nose and flavor. Some citrus and funk. Too short on the finish.

Stone Sour Fest 09. Cloudy pale yellow, somewhat muted nose. Flavor mostly funk and tart, but not very robust. Needs more of both, and some more complexity. Still, not bad--just not as good as some of the others at the Sour Fest.

(Draught) Pours a hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, barnyard, pineapple, and herbal notes. Flavor of grapefruit, pear, lemon, earth, white grapes, funkiness, and light oak.

Stone Sour Fest, San Diego 2009. Flat cloudy yellow body. Taste was mostly vinegar sour with some decent but underwhelming aromas up front. Rather similar to their white zin for my tastes.
