Odd brew from Westbrook, so you gotta give them some credit on the curiosity factor alone. But it drinks pretty well, too, the smoke and sour creating a surprisingly tasty combination that reminds me of Carolina-style vinegar-based barbecue sauce. Whether that’s good for a beer or not remains open for debate, but this brisk, smoky little tart brew seems to argue strongly in the For column. It’s not pretty beer, and could use a little more carbonation to keep the smoke from growing oppressive as the beer warms. Whatever the fuck that means. And, yes, it does smell a lot like ham. Tasty regardless, and more proof that Westbrook really, really knows how to handle sour beer.

Bomber bought @ Bierkompass.de. Pours hazy pale golden with a small fizzy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace. Smell is slightly sweet with smoke, unripe pears, lemon juice, gooseberries, lemon zest, hay, wood, smoked ham, peat, green apples and apple cider vinegar. Taste is sour with lemon juice, grapefruit juice, grape juice, lemon zest, hay, smoked sausage, burnt wood, green apples, unripe pears, crackers, cereal, unripe currants and gooseberries. Mouthfeel is dry, tart and light bodied. Finish is sour and tart with crackers, lemon juice, hay, bacon, unripe pears, green grapes, unripe currants, smoke and wood. Strange but good...

Tap at CBC, May 2012. It pours hazy straw yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is tart lemon, farmyard, subtle smoke and smoked ham. The taste is lemon, tart grapefruit, white grape, hint of smoke and farmyard. Light body and fine carbonation. Very interesting and good balance. I found this rather drinkable.

Draught, 4.2% abv, taster at CBC, first day. Light golden body. Shiny surface. Sweet and tart to the nose, farmyard. Taste like a kind of mustard with tart fruity hints. Strange kind of beer, possible to drink, but that’s all (Copenhagen, 11.05.2012).
