I'm brewing this recipe: http://www.homebrewchef.com/DeStruisePaxtonArchaicbeerCollaboration.html
tomorrow, and of course will be souring it up to be more like the Oerbier Reserva( which is pretty much a completely different beer ). The interesting thing is that about 4-5 months ago, I made my own 'clone' of this beer based on my own recipe formulation(with some input/help from others) based on the grains/hops they list as ingredients.
It will be interesting to see which comes closer to the real thing. I'm half joking about this 'competetion, one of the main reasons I wanted to post this was so that fellow homebrewers can brew an exact recipe formulated by one of the best breweries in the world(actually voted THE best recently by someone). Not sure many of you have seen this recipe, its interesting.
I'm considering souring/blending it with 3/4 of a gallon of sour wine/grape beer I've got, but of course that would change it almost completely. I'll taste after primary and see what I think, the other option is to go with Roeselare - which is suppsedly Rodenbach's who supposedly is now(as of '05 I think, sold bottles in '07) giving its sour blend to DeDolle(the brewers of Oerbier/Reserve)
