Genesis is our flagship blonde sour and one of our inaugural offerings from the Funkatorium. Fermented with over a pound per gallon of pineapple, guava, papaya, and mango the beer is then aged in wine barrels and blended to accentuate the wild and tropical nature of the yeast and fruit.

Thanks to JorisPPattyn. Bottle sampled @ “Nog-een-half-jaar-tot-de-volgende-EBT”. Hazy citrus, little white head. USA lactic nose, super fruity, white wine. Taste is USA lactic with typical white wine taste, quite acidic, candy, exotic fruits that are impossible to classify with lemon still dominating, lacto wine barrel, faintly puckering. Bit juice-like body. Lots of interesting fruits went into this. This is a nice beer but tastes once again like so many other USA sours.

Medium white head, fast gone over faintly hazed golden beer with faint orange sheen. Sourish nose, sour pineapple, lemon, quite lambic-y. Some tropical fruit indeed. Sour, serious acidity, fruity notes are there, but not possible to ferret out what. Warming up, I detect the white wine retronasal, however. Strong CO² feel, good attenuation, bit astringent. Special one, but indeed quite classical USA sour, in the end. Many thanks to John H!

A blonde ale with a very thin white head. In aroma, very sharp tart lemon juice and light Brett, lactic acid, Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a light fruity dry malt with light grape skin, light fruity esters, faint tropical fruits, nice and smooth. Bottle at Funkatorium.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting VI on 10/03/2014. Hazy orange-straw color with a thin white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of tart fruit, oak and spice. Light-bodied with a vinous oak character and notes of spices, citrus and malt. The finish is fruity with a tart grape and citrus aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
