This special selection is made by adding fresh kumquats to The Bruery's Sour in the Rye, a barrel-aged sour ale made with 40% rye malt. The result is a remarkably tart, fruity, refreshing and well-balanced wild ale, with prominent aromas and flavors of orange peel, pineapple core, tart gooseberry, white bitter-melon rind and kumquats, of course. It's light- to medium-bodied, with medium carbonation and a strong seam of bright acidity that carries through to the mouthwatering finish, alongside hints of bitter orange and peppery spice.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
