Zuurzing is a farmhouse ale soured with Lactobacillus, which provides a delightfully tart, tangy and crisp, citrusy flavor. We use our proprietary Belgian yeast to ferment this beer, and use a blend of American hops to enhance the citrus notes.

Draft at Churchkey. Clear bright yellow color, white head with nice lacing. Aroma of white pepper and dust. Taste is fruity and peppery lemon. Decent.

Draught at Novare Res, 10/11/15.
Bright golden colored liquid is clear and highly carbonated with a large, foamy white head that slowly fades to cover.
Very tart, lactic nose has light vanilla, crackers, dry grain and tangerine-lemon-like citrus qualities. Almost smells gose-like, which I guess is not that surprising, though I’m not getting much that would relate this to a saison. Smells nothing like Eddy. Nonetheless, there are no flaws or alcohol.
In the mouth, the tart, acidic lactic acid is strong and dominates the balance, with light honey, grains and dry crackers seeming to be the extent of the malt presence. The beer is incredibly watery, even taking in to consideration the low abv/light nature of it. Extremely undermalted, with little more mouthfeel than a seltzer water. Tart/acidic notes linger on a bit too powerfully.
