Surreal spontaneous sour ale aged in oak barrels
Spontaneously fermented in oak barrels, L'Brett d'Or's fermentation is kicked off with the help of the natural wild yeasts and bacteria residing around our coolship and native to our brewery. Since our spontaneous beers can only be brewed during the winter months, individual releases involve blending unique barrels to bring out the best of each brewing season. Characterized by funky citrus aromas, a crisp acidic bite, and a complex finish, L'Brett d'Or will continue to age with the best of them, gaining in complexity over the years.

A gold ale with a thin white head. In aroma, nice fruity malt with loads of Brett, horse blanket, Epsom salts, very nice and complex. In mouth, a beautiful complex mix of Brett, horse blanket, Epsom salts, ground cherries and cork, very nice and complex. On tap at Lupulus.

750ml caged and corked bottle. I see no dating.
It pours a lightly hazy dark yellow with a superb head of foam. Lacing is impressive as is the head retention.
The smell is of citrus lemon, funk, white grapes and is quite acetic.
Lemon tartness gets things going. White grapes and vinegar bring a resounding sourness that I enjoy. Something resembling hay also joins in. Funk is somewhat restrained. Oaky more of a woody character throughout.
Light body with lively carbonation. It finishes particularly dry.
Delicious AWA!

375 ml shared by Adamchandler. Batch 2 from 2013. Poured a hazy orange with no head. The aroma is grainy with light oak and decent Brettanomyces. In the flavor of the oak is balanced with Brett showing equal strength. Pretty tart with some lemon juice bite. Maybe a note of lychee fruit. I like it.
