Humulus Rueuze is a variation on our take on the traditional Belgian-style lambic gueuze with one major exception: massive amounts of dry hops. To begin, we carefully select a number of oak barrels that have been aging our sour blonde ale for anywhere from several months to several years, and then blend the beers together for the ideal flavor. Once that is achieved, we pile heaps of Hallertau Blanc hops on top to achieve an aromatic blend like no other, inundating the senses with citrusy, tropical, funky and grassy goodness. This is one complex beer, and it’s best consumed fresh.

On tap at the brewery. It pours a clear golden yellow color with a small off white head. The aroma is grassy with hints of herbals and lemon. Leans more toward the herbal side. The flavor is very sour and herbal, cheesy and funky. Nice oily mouthfeel with some lemony sourness. Very herbal with a hint of soap. Hints of acetic acid, but stops short of a burn. Good.

750 ml bottle. Pours a somewhat hazed lighter orange color with a thick, fizzy head and lighter lacing. Aroma is oak, sour, and funk. Some brett and some lacto, sour fruit, bit of cheese. Citrus notes come through as well underneath. Flavor-wise I get mostly the lactic, sour, and oak flavor, pretty nice, but without some of the nuance of the aroma. Slightly over-carbonated for my personal preference, but overall, it still has a solid mouthfeel. I like this one.
