Abbiamo pazientemente aspettato qualche anno, e finalmente è pronta. Ispirati alle Flemish Red e all’Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale, siamo partiti dalla Saba, il tradizionale mosto cotto Emiliano, e l’abbiamo lasciata in botte a sviluppare la sua spiccata acidità acetica. Una birra importante e complessa, per la cui immagine ci siamo affidati all’amico Antonio Bravo che ci ha regalato una sua personale visione del “Vecchio Bruno” in giro per Parma… vogliamo pensare sia la capostipite dello stile Sour Emilian Red Ale.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ Borefts 2013. Clear dark brown, absolutely zero head. Nose is tart cherry, bit weak, sour malts, vinous, bitter, touch watery. Taste is a bit thin esp. considering the ABV, sweet malts, old fermenting malts, caramel, oily, cherry pits, chestnuts, bit thin & watery, some sourness, bit paint thinner & fresh wood sour in the back. Flat, woody & bit thin, not what it should be.
