Description
Une Anneé, an Independent Craft Brewery, was born, in 2013, on the near west side of Chicago, with the quest of making fine Belgian inspired ales for all beer lovers. Founded by architect and Chicago native, Jerry Nelson, Une Anneé, has expanded it’s offerings over the years with an emphasis on fruited and unfruited American Wile Ales and Barrel Aged Stouts. In 2017, the brewery moved to neighboring Chicago suburb, Niles, IL and expanded to include a taproom. The working brewery in the background lends a hand to creating a laid back atmosphere where you can sit back and enjoy some of your favorite craft beers on tap.

On tap at El Bait Shop, pours a cloudy pithy peachy colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out tons of pithy stone fruits, tart guava and a touch of funk. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart guava, pithy stone fruits, some yeast, lacto, and aggressive acidity on the finish. Yeasty and very puckering on the finish. Enjoyable but not elegant.

Damn tart, Burns my lips, bit of a sweet finish. Tart everywhere though. Not a big blood orange fan but here it's only on the finish.

Draft at Federal Tap House in State College, PA. This series is annoying. Not all these fruits are worth drinking. Pineapple particularly in a beer like this just made it too sour. Watermelon, yeah right tasting that. 737314

Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 9/13/18.
Clear, cherry-red body is topped by a pink head that fizzles out to nothing rather quickly.
Very nice fruit character in the nose almost perfectly expresses a floral, spicy, juicy, tart blend of the two fruits. Not much beer behind it, though.
In the mouth it shows big passion fruit notes up front; leathery-earthy goodness with lightly spicy, peppery, seedy blueberry following. Again, like the nose, there's very little beer character here. Somewhat too acidic, almost puckering finish needs some malt or more wheat for both texture and balance. Very thin for its size. Pretty mediocre, other than the awesome passion fruit character. Used to be more impressed by fruit expression, but doesn't take a rocket scientist to dump fruit in to a beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly and nearly completely. Aroma is quite sour with some tart papaya, light funk and a bit of oak underlying. Flavor is sour and acidic with a papaya bite supported by a hint of funk and a bit of oak.

750 mL bottle, shared by Zach. Pours a hazy, bright red color, with a fizzy, fleeting head. Strong raspberry aromas, with some vanilla, lime juice, and salt. Not too sweet, with a great, aggressive, tart flavor. Medium body, with a strong acidity. Very effervescent. This is a very fruity, sharp sour.
