KY Common
Sig Luscher Brewery

Bringing the entire Senne Valley together, Boon spearheads a collaboration effort that does sour and a little sassy.

Horal’s Oud Gueuze Megablend rolls the sour ales together in a pour that brings pale straw hues and a light foggy gaze. As its popping bubbles highlight the nose with brisk citrus, berry and orchard fruit, the overwhelming dusty, musty and funk shines through it’s scent. Scant sweetness bounces from the tongue with the lightness of wafer, cracker and light bread.

It’s charge of carbonation breaks up the malt and highlights a fruity middle palate that shines with dried grapefruit, lemon and apple. Green berries and grape gives a tangy winey taste before the sheer sourness slaps the palate with a wallop of acidity. All wrapped in a cocoon of damp hay, cork, attic woods, saddle leather and general cellar-like funk, the session is as curious as it is sour.

Light, crisp and clean, the lambic-like ale carries a youthful exuberance and shows that additional cellaring could give the ale a little more time to ripen and mature, but this brisk and brazen sour ale is another great example of world class beer from a world class region.

Nice copper color with white head. Nose is typical of light lager. Taste slightly bready with a nutty finish. Good little drinkable beer. Would be great after day of mowing
