My second taste of Sawdust City Brewing Co.’s Limberlost was Limberlost Blonde, a Belgian-style sour ale brewed to 7.2%. The beer, from Gravenhurst, Ontario, comes in 473mL cans. It’s a pale golden ale with a nimbus of white suds. The beer contains Saaz and Idaho 7 hops, a quartet of malts, and Belgian ale yeast as well as wild Limberlost yeast. The beer is a blend of a batched of the wild, aged in oak puncheons, and the Belgian, aged in stainless.
The beer has a sharp sour fruit and funk aroma, with a bit of oaken sweetness. The flavour is tart, with white grape and cranberry notes, some woodiness, and a dry winey finish. Under it all are funky yeast tones.
This was a lovely Belgian-style sour blonde that I was into right from the jump. Crisp, tangy, and strong. A solid brew.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
