The Bruery Oude Tart

New Years Eve. The year is over. It is necessary to celebrate with an American craft beer that would send the year off with a bang.

Oude Tart by The Bruery, from what I understand, is a one-time release that could only be picked up a the brewery. Does it come out annually? I believe it is aged some eighteen months.

The funk of the beer seemed to arise from some type of Brett inoculation as there are barnyard and earthy aromas and flavors. Cherry dark fruit adds complexity while there is tart rather than sour tones.

Quite a nice drinking beer, mildly dry, that kept the senses wanting. Nicely done. Enjoy!

Useless Fact: A ‘jiffy’ is a unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
