An Ølfabrikken guest brew. For the third time we have invited one of our colleagues to come by and do any brew he or she would like. Gunnhild Kolvereid Brewmaster at Brewpub Copenhagen has made a sour brown ale brewed with a normal Belgian ale yeast as well as brettanomyces, pediococcus and lactic acid bacteria. The beer has been matured on french oak and sour cherries and bottle conditioned for six moths before release. It is bottled with brettanomyzes which provides the beer with a nice sparkle underscoring the refreshing sourness. Unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/2/2008 1:36:33 PM)
"Pours with a very muddy brown body with a pencil thin head and no lacing. The aroma is slightly sour and tart with a slight underlying maltiness and the very slightest hint of cherry. Ugh...the flavor isn’t very good...it’s sour yet malty but has a bad flavor that just doesn’t work. I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s highly carbonated and light bodied."

[2] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (6/16/2007 3:15:04 PM)
"Pours out in a hazy pale amber colour with a low white foam. Salty, lightly acidic and spicy aroma of cherries and other red berries. Medium-dry, lightly acidic and salty flavour of sweet cherries, wood and salt. Dryish fruity finish of cherries and salt."
