OK, here it is. Sorry for small quantity - I only had a small taste of this one (which is your first hint...)

Style plus two adjuncts.

Nope

 

[chocotaco]

I'll post a hint tomorrow if nobody has it yet.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Barrel aged Belgian quad with cherries

 

[chocotaco]

Yep nope nope

 

[chocotaco]

To be clear, Barrel has been identified as an adjunct. But such is this particular beer that I will be disappointed if the previous use of the barrel is not identified - it's pretty important to the beer.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Russian River Consecration?

Russian River Consecration?

You got it, Holmes!

As a person who is not that experienced with sours, I have to say I enjoyed this. The only other sours I've had are Bruery sours - Mother Funker and Oude Tart (Also have had Cascade's Honey Ginger Lime sour at their tap room... but I'm not sure if it counts. If they bottled it, though, I would buy it frequently) I really like Oude Tart but I really see now what the big fuss is about RR sours (still hoping to find Supplication at some point). As much as I think Pliny the Elder is over-hyped, this one was a really unique experience. Highly recommend.

Just to be clear, style was American Wild Ale (RR describes it as "Sour Dark Ale") and adjuncts are Cabernet Sauvignon barrel and currants.

Such good stuff. Temptation is the best sour that RR makes IMO. It's incredible.

Awesome! And I'm jealous.

Okay, I'll post a picture later tonight when I get home.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Okay guys, this might be a tough one. The color is your hint. There are no adjuncts. I will accept either the specific brew, or the stylistic tradition from which it comes.

EDIT: Also, sorry for the glassware and the sh*tty lighting, that was the only way I could get the camera on my computer to get a decent representation of the actual color. It is pretty dark, and deep deep red. Basically, despite the fact that the photo looks crappy, what you see there is exactly what I'm seeing in person. For the record, this *is* beer, not wine, despite the appearance and glass. The head dissipated SUPER fast.

 

[FatDragon]

Flemish Red?

 

[JordanKnudson]

No sir, although the brewery from whence this comes does produce quite a few *awesome* sours.

 

[chocotaco]

Bruery Lokal Red

 

[JordanKnudson]

We're narrowing this down quickly! It is from The Bruery, but it's not Lokal Red.

 

[chocotaco]

OK, bear with me while I Sherlock this thing.

I got the impression that you were ruling out all sours with your previous hint. Otherwise, I would guess American Wild Ale (Bruery's portfolio makes it a statistically good guess).

However, the lack of any adjunct is troubling, because most Bruery beers are at least barrel-aged (which most consider an adjunct). Barrels aside, the lack of any adjunct actually narrows it down quite a bit.

It can't be one of their wheat beers, because those would have some head retention and you mentioned there was little to none.

It can't be one of their farmhouse ales, due to the color being dark while Bruery saisons are mainly light-colored.

Therefore I suggest that it must be a very specific beer: their Rugbrod (rye bread ale).

The bruery blueberry sour?

Awesome Sherlocking! You are correct, it is The Bruery's Rugbrød. I would have also accepted Danish Julebryg, the style from which this was born.

 

[chocotaco]

I can't believe I got it, total shot in the dark.

I'm going to quit monopolizing this game and put it up for grabs.

 

[Chamuco]

Ok,I haven't been in the game for awhile.....I'll put one out there. Just style.
