Danbic - Cranberry
Evil Twin Brewing

 

 

Draft @ Borefts 2012. Reddish orange with a white head. Clear vinegar, general berries, sweeter side nose. Tad sweeter vinegar, some berries, not specifically cranberries, med. sour, would expect harsher given the nature of the fruits, bordeaux, tad murky, reasonably long blend of bitter and sour finish. Clearer body feel. Not bad but quite lacking compared to a lambic on my opinion, needs to clear out but I might be just a biased nationalist.

Draft at Tørst in Brooklyn.

Pours a very cloudy dark golden orange color with apricot colored edges.  No head or lacing.

Musty, funky aroma with dry oak, damp earth, lactic funk, acidic acid and tart dark fruit.  The barrel gives off a nice wood presence that's countered by the lactic funky and dark berries.

Surprising full bodied with a tart, puckering sourness that lingers over the dry oak, lactic funk, acidic acid and vinous fruit into a dry finish.  Tart cranberry really stands out, adding to the sourness.  Toasted oak and musty funk flavor are also prominent with some lactic cheesiness. The cranberry flavor is tart and sweet complimenting the barrel and funky bugs.  The tart, dry finish is very refreshing.
