12oz chalice at the Edmonton Beer Revolution's sour fest.
This beer appears a mostly clear, rusty brick brown colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of streaky alien script lace around the glass as things slowly bleed away.
It smells of sour dark orchard fruit, crackery pale malt, tainted caramel, testy yeast, a bit of white cheese, and a soft nutty and earthy hoppiness. The taste is sharply tart, yet indistinct black and red fruit, bready caramel malt, musty Italian cheese, a more laid-back yeastiness, and weak earthy and citrusy hops.
The carbonation is quite low in its tongue-tingling intensity, the body an adequate medium weight for the adopted sub-style, and kind of smooth, the fruity tartness making minor inroads here. It finishes off-dry, the underlying nutty caramel malt forming a stiff upper lip in the face of the moderately waning sour character.
At least with regular Rewired, the assault of hops didn't obliterate the base brown ale. Here, however, the overarching tart and funk produces exactly the opposite effect. Not a bad brew, and I know that it's called 'unchained', but I suppose there could be a smidge more balance in this one.
