Sour in the Rye is an American wild ale. A challenging beer to brew due to the substantial amount of rye malt, but you’ll be glad we took the time. The character of the rye asserts itself with clove and pepper in the aroma and flavor, and contributes a full body not generally found in sour beers. Pleasantly sour with notes of tart cherry, rustic earth and vanilla from barrel aging.

Nice sour, heavily acidic but layered, with a vicious front-sided salty-sour citrus-n-berry attack followed up by subtly sweet notes of oak, vanilla, clove, yeast, and earth. Tartness kind of bleaches out the rye, and there's definitely room for some funk or leather to deepen the back end, but still an enjoyable pint. Pours a hazed amber with a brief white head and no lace. Impressive nose gives off tons of citric sourness, oak, and vinous undercurrents. Perky feel has a little bit of spiciness to it. Good.

750ml bottle from Park Royal LRS at Ilya's. 7.6% ABV. Vintage 2015. Pours a pale clear copper with a tan head. Aroma is fruity, a bit sweet, barrel notes. Taste is similar, quite acidic. Not bad, but I would prefer it to be not that acidic.

Bottle, 750 ml, from Beergium. Shared with rest of the crew. Pours hazy dark orange with small white head. Fruity, berries, citrus, funk, quite sour, low carbonation. Dry. Nice one, less sourness thank POG version.

Bottle shared by Pilsnertest, many thanks! Hazy amber with a short white head. Very tart with peaches, lemon, some white wine vinegar, goldbären and some oak. Just a tad to sour for it to blow me away, still very tasty.

2013 bottle at home via Broery membership and four years of rotting in my parent’s basement. Fairly clear, dark burnt orange appearance with a cream colored head. Heavy acetic acid, blood oranges, and spice in the aroma. Moderately high sourness. The flavor has more red fruit like cherries along with some citrus fruit. There’s definitely some vinegar notes and is almost reminiscent of a Flanders Red. It’s a little harshly acidic but it is kind of tasty, especially with the spiciness from the rye. Kind of fun to try but not something I’d want to drink too often.
