Score

ABV: 7.4% IBU: - Ticks: 23
Crianza belongs to the family of Flemish Red-Brown ales. Born out of a mixed fermentation, she spent more than a year in oak barrels.
Her body has copper reflections, and her aspect is limpid. Her foam is beige and creamy, with a nice hold. She smells like Northern cherries, with a woody and winey accent, and a slightly animal touch given by the Brettanomyces yeast. In the mouth, these flavors are completed by stewed apples, notes of Agen plums, blackberries, spices (cinnamon, cloves, licorice), and a very lightly caramelized touch of malt and biscuit. Her slightly sour character makes her surprisingly refreshing.
She is at 7,4% ABV (hardly perceptible).

330 ml, bottled 11 Feb 22. Copper body, with a quite small, creamy, yellowish head. Aroma of oak, overripe fruits, cherry, leather, balsamico, some funk. Tastes quite similar, with some more vanilla and red apple. Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a moderately fizzy carbonation. Finishes vinous, quite dry, moderate acidic, wooden, leathery, with green apple zest and ripe fruits. Quite old-school style example, while with a lot of character and complexity. The acidity is perfectly balanced, drinks really elegant, with beautiful vinous notes and loads of diverse fruits. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

Flaska från Etre. Bärnstensfärgad disig vätska med medelhögt smutsvitt skum. Sötsyrliga brettig doft med mycket stenfrukt och mjuk vinäger. Plommon, körsbär, fat, laktosyrlig. Mjuk och len munkänsla, välbalanserad med fint smakdjup. Mycket gott
