At BJ's we make a sour beer that we call Oud Jeremiah by aging our Jeremiah Red in wine barrels for many months. Razz-Jerry tart is made by blending natural raspberry extract with Oud Jeremiah before we keg the beer. This results in a raspberry-flavored red ale with a delicious sweet start balanced by a refreshing tart finish

After researching this beer and its history, I am finally ready to write a review. I opted for a tulip glass at crisp 46 degrees. The pour created a frothy light tan head with zero retention. After pouring the beer, I noticed that the beer had the same color as Flander's Red but was a bit darker. The color is brown and has reddish mahogany hues, scoring 20 on the SRM scale. The clarity of the beer is cloudy with some floaties. The apperance is below average; the head needed something for retention.
Upon the first whiff, I was greeted by a complex fruit medley of plums, raspberries, cherries, and oranges. With its bready, toasted, and sweet notes, the malt profile added depth. Other intriguing aromas, such as leather, vanilla, acidic acid, funkiness, light barnyard, and a subtle chocolate note, further enriched the experience. The fruit-forward aromas balanced the sourness, creating a harmonious bouquet.
The beer's taste was a delightful continuation of its aroma. The fruity notes of raspberries, oranges, cherries, and plums were still prominent, but the acidic taste had mellowed, lending a mild sourness. The flavors of vanilla, chocolate, leather, earthiness, a subtle barnyard quality, and funkiness added complexity. The beer containing Brett also showcased its malts with sweet, bready, toasty, and roasty notes.
The mouthfeel is tannic and tart, and it finishes dry. The body is medium and medium-high carbonated.
After a few sips, this Flanders beer differs from what I expected. It tastes a bit off to me, leaving me somewhat puzzled. The fruity sweetness overshadows the rich Flanders flavors. When I think about Rodenbach or Red Poppy, I remember how their Flanders ales have depth and complexity while maintaining a tart profile.
