According to folklore, Tai Sui (太歲), was a magical monster that regrew whenever eaten. In essence, it was a little like a baker’s sourdough mother, alive with life forms from its surroundings. This bottle captures the life work of these beings in beer form. A take on a rye sourdough bread, this is a rye ale fermented using Gregoire Michaud's sourdough starter, which started in Hong Kong. It is dry, has a rye & oak kick with a touch of sourness and bit of funk.

Bottle shared at Mechazilla. Thanks Brandon! Pours a hazy brown-rust color with a finger of soapy off-white head. Big sourdough bread aromas with some light oak notes. Creamy on the palate with average carbonation. Nice light sourness and chewy, bready malts. Well-balanced but lightly dry on the finish. Impressive for apparently Hong Kong’s first sour. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tai Sui (太歲) on 04 May 2016 at 23:00 - Score: 7

Draft at Brewdog. Hazy dull honey copper pour with minimal head. Aroma is big malty sourness in an unusual way. Taste follows. Like spicy sourdough bread. Very malty in a weird funky spicy way. Not my style but interesting - wouldn't get again.
