Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in cabernet barrels with blackberries, Juliet is a tart, fruity, complex ale. Notes of wood, tannin, dark fruit and spice make Juliet an ideal beer to suggest to Pinot Noir enthusiasts and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian sour ales.

2017, 12 ounce bottle.

Pours opaque orange red, small and quickly gone head of foam. No lacing to speak of.

I smell Brett, tannins, tart to sour fruit. Blackberry is what they used but I can't remember when I last ate any blackberries.

Taste is pretty magnificent. Sour fruit, Brett, woody, quite complex and tasty.

On the lower end of medium bodied.

Probably my favourite Goose Island beer after Bourbon County Stout.

Sampled from bottle in front of ’De Bierkoning’ during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016. Clear, golden amber. Sourish, slightly fruity aroma of lots of vinegar, oak and some caramel. Very sour, a little funky taste of vinegar, caramel and some oak, followed by a medium long, very tart finish. Thin to medium body, very astringent mouthfeel, flat. Too much, but still nice.

Bottle sampled in front of de Bierkoning. Hazy reddish orange with barely any head. Sour red fruits, balsamico, cherries, light glue. Vinegary sour. Medium bodied with barely any carbonation. Way too much glue and vinegar, this is not good.
