As with all sour ales, the initial sip wakes up your dull senses. There is an elevated level of Acetic Acids working their magic in this beer. The first sip assaults the palate in an enamel stripping bottom of the pH chain sort of way. In Belgian brewing there are fantastic wild ales brewed with naturally occurring yeast. These beers develop over time and are ready on their own terms.
Duck Duck Gooze is our homage to these effervescent and wonderfully complex sparkling beers.A blend of young and old barrel aged beers, this has been one of our most sought after beers year after year since it’s original release in 2009. Alas, it is released in very small quantities only once every three years, so it’s extremely difficult to come by beyond the day we release it. It does, however, turn up on our Tasting Room’s Vintage List from time to time, so don’t despair.

Hazy, light tan. The aroma has a lot of leather, touch of brett C, and some nice sweet pale malt. This is earthy. I like the leather, the clean lactic, the nice brett, and the wood. Really beautiful.

750ml bottle @ Epic Lost Abbey tasting. Thanks Tide and Otso! Pours yellowish orange with a small head. Aroma of tartish and funky yeast, farmyard, oak, earthiness and sourness. Taste is funky, sourish and vinous tart with some bretta, oak, wood, earthiness and farmyard. Finish is balanced, funky and tart with some sourness, earthy notes, bretta, farmyard and vinous notes. Pretty balanced and not as aggressive as the other Lost Abbey sours we tried earlier.

Very old rating found on a loose page while cleaning, possibly from 2010. Notes are from a tasting, possibly RB gathering in Grand Rapids- Hazy straw color, tart, fruity aroma. The flavor is also tart and fruity with a good balance of malty sweetness. It's funky, though maybe not as funky as some, and extremely good.
