Bear Worship B.A. Golden Sour

Born in Toronto, Bear Worship B.A. Golden Sour (5?) is a hefty sour ale from the team at Blood Brothers Brewing. It’s a 9% barrel aged sour sold in 500mL bottles with gorgeous ursine labels.

Bear Worship is a cloudy orange grog that decants with a thin layer of white suds. It boasts a tangy aroma with tangerine and peach elements. The beer is certainly sour, but it is backed by some sweetness from the barrel aging process to give it a pleasing balance and, by some alchemy, to also mask the 9% alcohol content to a devilish degree. The key flavour is sour fruitiness, but it sidles into faintly woody territory by the finish. There is next to no bitterness on display.

A boozy brute from BBB, Bear Worship is a tart and satisfying potion.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
