Frucht: Cranberry And Orange
The Bruery Terreux

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a deep reddish orange beer which is topped by a finger of dense and slightly rocky off white head which fades slowly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing
S: Smells of tons of sweet oranges with an almost marmalade like note to it along with a touch of cranberries.
T: Taste is nice sourness with some cranberry and orange flavors along with a hint of wood and creamy wheat. On the swallow there's more oranges and cranberries with a marmalade like sweetness on the back end with more creamy wheat and slight lingering tartness.
M: This beer has a body which is on the lighter side of things but it is not watery. Carbonation is effervescent and adequate for the style while the acidity gives this beer a drying finish which is expected for the style.
O: Overall this is a really nice beer. Solid flavors and complexity help to make this an interesting beer to drink. The flavors are also well balanced so while the fruit does take center stage there are still some contributions from the base beer.

 

 

 

Bottle shared @ KJUBZT tasting June 2019. Golden pinkish colour. Pinkish white head. Aroma's: sour, fruity, a hint of sweetness. Retronasal it's full on sour and fruity. Flavour is puckering sour. Light bodied. Long finish. I don't mind sour, but this is a bit too much.

 

 

 

Had this last week while we were doing some hop harvesting and laying around the pool. Summary: Least liked frucht beer so far. Pours a color that looks like yellow +cranberry = orange. Small 1/5" white head vanishes almost immediately after pouring. Aroma is that citrus sour thing that does seem to reflect oranges and cranberry at the opportunity cost of wood and wheat.

Taste is well, a lot of cranberry and orange. Cranberry belongs in vodka, less so in beer. To me it cheapens and dilutes the ability to taste anything else. Wheat and bug sourness gets overshadowed by the cranberry. The orange notes are discernable, so not everything gets obscured by the cranberry. Seems slightly more acidic than desired. I dunno, I just got more of the adjuncts and less of the regular ingredients out of this one. The wood wasn't as dry, the body wasn't as well.

The base beer is decent as always, but for me, cranberry sucks and that is why the beer is my least favorite in the series.

Rose orange; vanilla, vague Balsamic, and orange; blast of white vinegar, cranberry, slight salt, a bit of funk, dried red berry, and deep wood.

Oaked Berliner with cranberry + orange.

Zingy! Wood + subtle fruit with the soul of a Berliner. Needs further exploration some time.

Pours pink and with a short fizzy white head that fell quickly. Very hazy. This beer had the least funk of all three berliners. The orange peel on this noise is spicy and combined in a very feminine way with what I will describe as it's cranberry tomboy counterpart. The cranberry is such a great fruity smell that is light and without the sugar that you are accustomed to seeing with it it has a fresh and very vivacious scent. Minty hop herbal and a touch of cracker to whisper sweetly as the beer fills your nose with the fresh cranberry scent. Light funk. Drinks crisply and bubbly with just enough sour to excite the palate much in the same way that a pinot noir can excite the palate with a measure of prickly acidity. Quick smooth finish and hardly any aftertaste except for the fruit.

 

Split with JLindros. 2017 vintage.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear light reddish blonde hue with a fat two finger head that fades to leave nice wisps.

S - Aromas of bright cranberry juice and a little orange zest. Really nice tartness and juicy orange. Touch of malts and as little oak. Really nice!

T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice bright cranberry juice, tart bright orange peel, good oak, little melons. There is nice oak as all. Just cranberry galore.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, crisp, however it is very flemmy.

O - Overall this was an incredibly surprising beer. The cranberry is just enormous here and nicely bright. This was supposed to be a throwaway beer, but really really nice!

Serving Type: bottle

Split with rudzud
Pours a nice white creamy fluffy 1.5 finger head that fades semi slowly, nice sticky foamy lacing, slight clear auburn cranberry peach-iced-tea color

Nose some decent tart cranberry, berry juice and a little orange rind citrus, cranberry juice and a bit tart, a touch of malt and syrupy malt, little sour note and a bit of toasted oak

Taste brings plenty of sourness, a little tart flemmy acidity, nice sour with a touch of funk, nice cranberry, tart cranberry juice and a little flesh like, very little citrus, tons of raw cranberry juice with the tartness, a flemmy fair acidic finish like drinking cranberry juice, pretty sour in general, a little toasted oak and almost cedar like note

Mouth is med to a bit heavier, decent fizzy carb, flemmy with a big acidity

Overall pretty nice, basically like big cranberry juice, so much cranberry juice, although the orange could be a bit more, nice oak too, acidity, tartness, etc.

 

 

 

375ml bottle poured into a teku

A- pours a clear pinkish ruby color with a one . finger foamy white head that has short retention

S- sour lactic notes mix with aromas of simmering cranberries, orange peels and vanilla, a hint of wheat

T- light are tart up front with some sour lacto notes, followed by tart cranberries and undertones of orange peel & vanilla. The finish is tart and dry with cranberry and wheat on the linger

M- light body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy effervescent mouthfeel and a dry tart finish

O- the tartness of the cranberry works well with the base beer, orange adds just a bit of a zesty note

The beer pours out a amber/light ruby red color, with 1 finger of light pink head--------------- the aromas are of tart red berries, red wine, lesser funk and lesser orange---------------- the flavors start off sour with cranberry, orange marmalade and lesser funk, the beer has a medium mouthfeel with an acidic finish----------------- overall this beer was delicious, for a Berliner weisse it is super sour and complex, the cranberry shines the most with the orange kicking in on the finish----------
