Bourgogne Blanc
The Bruery Terreux

Bottle at share. Light golden pour, pink hues, small bubbly head. Sweet, tart aroma. Flavor is floral, sweet, and a bit of a sharp, tart bite with light dryness.

 

 

I've had this beer a few times, the first of which was at Bruery Terreux's Wild & Hoppy Beer Festival on March 3, 2018. Subsequent drinks have been out the bottle. In fact I ordered an extra bottle beyond my initial allocation after liking it so much.

Pours a light golden color with ample clarity and about 2/5" white head. The head quickly dies to almost nothing. The aroma is white wine and french oak + lemons.

Taste gives a delicious hybrid of beer and wine, mild sourness, heft acidity, but a restrained alcohol in the mouth feel, especially given the 11% abv number on this one. Hits light body wise, but massive in terms of flavors. All the white grapes up in there. This is a great beer to break out around people who love white wine but not beer. There is a gripload of french oak to it, even a white oak aspect too. Its pricey stuff, but this is one of those rare beers that is actually worth paying $1/oz for. Would and will bang again.

Split with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear golden honey hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of big French oak notes and lovely chardonnay grapes, nice tart must, super fruity as well.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with excellent wine notes, great oak between all the chardonnay as well. Super bright!

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, alcohol hidden immensely. Very lightly flemmy.

O - Overall this was a very solid beer with really good tartness. The chardonnay and oak are really good with lovely fruit notes.

2015 Vintage

A: poured into a tulip to a light gold topped by a finger of dense white head which quickly fades to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing
S: Smells of light sourness, some grapes, light musty oak and some funk
T: taste is sourness and huge white grape notes with some melon and grape twang. There is some additional funk and some nice buttery oak at times as well. Swallow is more sourness with lingering grape notes with some melon and lingering oak and light funk.
M: This beer is on the medium side with soft carbonation which is a little prickly and a dry finish from the acidity
O: This is probably a love it or hate it type beer with the addition of the grapes. It has some really nice flavors and complexity that are very enjoyable. I like this better than Noble Rot from DFH. It's a style bender but it's really nice if you don't mind beers with a boatload of wine influence.

L - Pours a golden amber body with a fizzy half finger paper white head that dissipates to nothing.

S - Oak, white grape, funk and a vinegar quality.

T - Good amount of oak, hay and earth. Some funk. White grape and some tropical fruits. Medium tartness.

F - Medium bodied and light carbonation. Super drinkable and the abv is well hidden.

O - This is a well done beer. A nice hybrid wine/beer between sour & sweet.

This beer pours a hazy pale orange color. The head is small, and vanishes into nothing within seconds which is normal for a barrel aged beer. The aroma is sour, astringent, slightly funky, there are also so light fruity things going on (banana and passion fruit). The taste wonderfully sour with passion fruit, cherry, and heavily oaked chardonnay. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with appropriately high carbonation. Overall, this is a fantastic beer.

 

 

 

 

Couldn't decide if I was in the mood for beer or wine, so I popped this. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku. Pours with a nice finger's worth of head that dissipates immediately. Nose is oak, white grape, light olive. Offers a spritzy, sour palate that nicely integrates white grape must, peach, olive, oak, and funk. Interesting and well balanced; quite enjoyable if your in the mood for a beer of this sort.
