Looking for Recipe for 2nd Sour (Rodenback or Cuve)

[jalgayer]

Hey

I got my first sour two months into its journey and I want to make a 2nd so as to be able to blend and or compare.

Being new to sours I have recently tried a few and enjoy Rodenbachs and Cuve Renne by Lindemans the most.

Anyone got a tip on trying to get a sour close to either of those two?

Thanks for help!

With wild beers I wouldn't take the same "clone it" approach as many do with the other styles of beer. It's very unlikely that you'll make something that tastes the same as Rodenbach Grand Cru or Cuvee Rene so you might be best off hoping for something similar or even something that's just complex, sour and the same color as the beer you're aiming for.

That said, if you're into Rodenbach Grand Cru shoot for a Flanders Red style beer; for Cuvee Rene you ideally need to make one, two, and three year old lambics and blend to taste.
