Tasting

Belgian Bruin Sour

Tasting the soured version of the bruin. This was a pico brew. No pun intended it started as wort in fridge which started spontaneous fermenting. I keep 1/4 of this wort and boiled the rest, adding to bruin wort.

The 6.1% tastes sharp.
The sour has more body 9.3%, musty on the nose, with sour on the finish.

Fran describes the nose as smells like urinal!
