The redesque beer...
Today I am tasting my sour mash red ale. This is the half that I bottled with Brettanomyces, though I did taste the non brett half yesterday. I will write up a tasting of that half as well, though they are similar.First off this beer pours a nice reddish brown. Hard to tell from the picture of course. It has a nice hoppy aroma, little head, no lacing, nice tingling carbonation. The taste is similar to the nonbrett half, though I would say there is less hop presence and more of maybe a cidery taste?
Similar malty finish in both beers, but neither are really sour that I can tell. I should brew this one again and do a longer sour mash.
Despite that, I would say this is still a very good American style ale. Nice hop taste and aroma but it is not overwhelming. I think the sourness would add another dimension though.
