James and Julie is our take on a Flemish sour brown and offers an aroma of raisins, figs, cherries, and caramelized sugar. Mahogany in color, this medium-bodied ale finishes with clean acidity and a hint of spice. We brew this sour brown ale with Pilsner, Special B, Maize, and Chocolate Malt and ferment it with our house yeast strain. It then ages for two years on stainless steel with our own blend of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus cultures.

375ml bottle thanks to rich. Pours out copper amber color topped with a sand head. Nose is white vinegar cherries some wood barrel notes. Taste is more of the white wine vinegar cherries and a barrel kick.

No head left, finely carbonated dark rosé beer. Acetic acid and old wood. Sharp, rather fruity nose; Fruitacids, and again a preponderance towards acetic acid. Dry-out effect, acidburn and -thinning. Too much acetic acid, harsh.

Bottle shared at a tasting at troubles’s place. Cloudy amber with a beige head. Aroma of cellar, balsamic vinegar, caramel, cheese, funky ,cherry. Sour flavor, acidic, with fruits, balsamic vinegar, wood, a bit of sweetish caramel, and a mild acidic burn in the throast. A bit too acidic, but still good.
