Against the Grain 5 Roses: A Rick Astley Joint (Pils Edition) Against the Grain Brewery Louisville, Kentucky
Beer style: Sour / Wild Beer Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are PLEASE NOTE: All the Rick Astley Joint beer bottles are labeled "Wild Kolsch Aged in Red Cypress". The Pils edition has no addition red stamp in the top left corner of the label. This edition of our Five Roses series is light, tart, and
complex. The core elements of a brettanomyces beer
are readily apparent in the floral, funky, farmyardy
nose and palate. The kettle addition of lactobacillus
lends a noticeable, refreshing tangy sourness that
delivers plenty of flavor and then tapers off to make
way for the next sip. The aging on Red Cypress adds a
final layer of unusual woody complexity to create a
bottle aged beer worthy of Rick himself. (Part of thee All Funked Up Wild Series) |
