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.

Old bottle, hand-bottled and given to my friend Angelo. Masterpiece. Best American sour period.

Bottle from Toby, 2013 vintage. As usual when the Boise crew gets together, sours dominate, but they’re always top notch. Here’s yet another great example, light bodied, tart, fruity and funky. Tasty stuff.

5400th rating. Batch 1 bottle thanks to Tim. Pours a cloudy yellow with medium frothy white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is nice funk, oak, cheese, lemon, guava, pineapple. Thin mouth, very tart, funk, guava, lemon, wood, more sour as it warms, this beer is amazing!

Bottle. Hazy orange liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of lemon, barnyard, mineral, apple skin, light bread, light lacto and light wood. Taste is dry and medium to high sour with notes of lemon, apple, mineral, tropical fruit, apple skin, barnyard and light funk. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Really good stuff. Balanced for an American sour. Close to Belgian gueuze.
