Evolution Nouveua Rouge

I have one if you need to trade, of course mine was the $24 variety but maybe it tastes better!

 

I'm going to keep searching for a while and hope that Evo hasn't completely shut out their home markets. Thanks though.

 

They have it in the back now, I got one bottle. I asked if it was possible to get two, but they are running low, less than a case left.

 

i cam across some more got the last tho

 

cryme i ma head to philly one day soon if i see one wanna me to get it? and where in delaware u at

 

I got some guys. Don't worry about me.

 

There will be more Nouveau released, but not for some time. The brewery still has something like 16 oak barrels of nouveau still conditioning. It goes for $18 at the brewery for on-site consumption only.
The bottle I tried did not have a butter-like diacetyl overtone, though there may be variations. Lacto and Pedio (some barrels were infected with a combination of these bacteria along with brett and even ECY Bugfarm) can produce diacetyl so it may certainly be present. I got more of a goaty flavor and aroma, along with some ethyl acetate. I could tell it had picked up quite a bit of character from the oak (to be expected after up to two years of conditioning).

For me it was very enjoyable.

 

i liked it alot

 

lacked any sort of carbonation...

 

This was my biggest gripe, overall I like it.

 

I didn't get any diacetyl, but mine was also lacking in carbonation.

All in all, it was a very solid first sour from a brewery that seems to keep getting better and better.
