From the brewer

Planete Rouge is the next release in our Pub Reserve Series with bottles available only at our pubs & tasting room beginning today! This sour, 10.2% ABV brew is a blend of 3 base beers created at the pubs:

1. Sour ‘Lil Red
2. The Dissident
3. Flanders Red

Being aged in Oregon oak barrels for 22 months with wild yeast & bacterial strains creates flavors that are out of this WORLD! Pucker up…

Who's been drinking this

Very nice at first, plummy/pruney with a sharp but brief sourness and fading into quite a funky finish. The funk built up in bitterness through the glass, though; I'd say two-thirds of the goblet was great and the last bit ... took a while.

Too sour for my taste, I wouldn't drink a lot of it.

A pleasant surprise given how much I disliked the Dissident. Moderately tart, fruity, and with a buttery hit of funky wild yeast, this shares the fruit pie characteristics I've generally liked best in sours.
