2014 Advent Day 5

Krampus Speciale (7%) by Birrificio del Ducati




This beer poured a cloudy dark copper color with a thin head.  It seems none of the beers this year so far are over carbonated and producing big heads.


I'm glad I looked into this beer a little bit and knew beforehand that it was a sour beer, otherwise I may have concluded that something went wrong in the fermentation and it had gone sour. 

But since it is a sour beer, it must be fine.  I would describe this as an Apple Cider made with crab apples.  It is very tart with the fruity flavor coming through. And just a bit off yeast flavor making it a beer instead of a cider. 

An interesting beer, to say the least, but I doubt I will be running to the store for more of this one.
