 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today I'm going to be doing a brewery that I've not done before it is the brewery out of Orange County, California So it says on the label actually out of Placentia, California to be specific This beer is their take on a goose style sour it is called ruse and Rue the rue portion of the name is a playoff the last name of the founder of the company's names of Patrick Rue And they do that with a bunch of their beer names. They have one called like Cezanne de Rue stuff like that 5.6% alcohol by volume for this their take on a goose and It was three different vintages of their sour blonde ale that were mixed together But then the interesting thing is this bottle from the Bottling date is actually like a year and a half old almost So it was three different vintages and then a year and a half after that for this So see how it is check it out. I've only had like one goose. I think one goose prior to this and it was by Tilquen Goosery their Oud goose so Which I understand is a very good example of a goose So you go so you can see the bottle Very orangey you can see right through it super filtered got a decent white head to it. Oh Yeah, just get smacked with that sour aspect to it It's kind of smells like sweet tarts, you know like citrusy sweet tarts There's a lot of lemon aspect to it in there Super sour and there's some just kind of like an oak Oak aspect. Oh, okay. It's aged in oak barrels. Okay. Well that makes sense why I'm smelling an oak aspect to it Because there's like a little bit of a vanilla-y Oaky note to it. Oh That sourness is good kind of like Pangs on your palate like real quick like a sharp quick sourness of like, you know, lemony aspect to it And then it backs off and you get that kind of nice oak and like vanilla aspect from the oak It doesn't you know, like some sours will just kind of like overpower your palate and just kind of stay on there with the sourness But like I said, you know, it hits your palate real quick with some sourness and then it backs off and it's that oak Hmm as far as sour beers go that is nice. I'm a fan That's good for anyone who likes, you know, kind of a sour flavor But they don't want sour to just overtake their mouths. This would be a very good option The price points a little bit on the higher end. I think it's around $20 or so for Liquor store, I believe so, you know, make up your mind on that whether you want to do it or not But you're gonna pay more for beers that take this type of, you know time to make so anyway I would say definitely check it out if people, you know, if you like sour style beers And especially if you like oak barely sour beers do it. I Don't think there's anything else Interesting to put on to put out there about this but the oak barrel aging which I had forgotten in the beginning Well, actually, I didn't even know but Was picking it up. Yeah, it does say things about cellaring on the back, which is really great I know the brewery really tries to optimize the flavor of the beers are very into You know saying this is how you should enjoy it. So that's why the cellar information is on the back Good job brewery. Damn. This is a nice beer I'm gonna sip on this and edit an episode of brutal battle everybody Thank you for checking this out and stick around for the next time But more importantly, go get yourself an awesome beer. Enjoy it
