BTN: Sour Swiss Beer for Musar lovers

Brasserie BFM Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien 2010 Assemblage No. 3 - Bière de garde viellie en fûts de chêne; Switzerland

11% abv; sour beer; very expensive at 24,20€ / 0,75.

But it is a wonderful beer. Red tinged brown. Practically no bubbles. The scent is quite lovely: sour but sweet, vinegary but not overpoweringly so, bready. For a Musaroholic such as myself, this aromas is really rather lovely!

Despite no bubbles and no hop flavor that I can sense, this is very crisp and refreshing and deliciously sour despite some obvious malty(?) sweetness.

The finish is citric and dry and bracing and there is really no touch of sweetness.

I enjoyed this very much. I tend to prefer the sour beers without any hints of sweetness, but here a slight sweetness did work - I guess because it finishes very dry.

Outstanding beer if you like a sour one.

I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
