The Bruery
Terreux Sour in the Rye American Wild Ale
Orange County, South Coast, California, USA
Revisit from four weeks ago, so I’ll keep it short and less windy. Red amber body is just a beauty. The white crown an equal. Strawberry nose with fresh apricot, peach and pickled peach too. Mouth puckering-ly sour with green strawberry, cherry sweet tart, lemon juice, limes, red grapefruit, apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, sour pineapple, star fruit and kumquat. Tartness just brands you initially, and you seek shelter in the oak relics below the sour reliquary.

Oct 7th, 2019Big bubbles lined up like egg white cocktail topping, predictably popped, leaving a central continent of cirrostratus amoeba. Leopard lacing. An orange zest feathered apricot with cedar stone, cloves and dried grapefruit comes forward, as does plum and sliced peach. Lemon oils and zest are the acid accompaniments. Tart apricot in spiced tea, with cinnamon, rose petal infused oak chip, aggressive grapefruit and lemon piths, dried lavender, orange bitters, culminating in lemon-ginger rice vinegar. profound persistence tapers evenly to pickled peach but riding a tartaric wave of slightly garlic brine. Surf’s way up, and with passion fruit and guava, I’m guessing we’re breaking out the original Hawaiian, hardwood longboards.

Wild American Sour and pretty fantastic. Great to pairing with grilled drumsticks, mushrooms and sweet potato.
