Odyssey 008 | Siren Craft Brew
ABV: 8.7%
Style: Sour - Flanders Oud Bruin
Description: The blend for Odyssey 008 consists of: Liquid Mistress – Red Wine Barrel Aged with Brettanomyces Funky Feet (Collaboration with Stillwater Artisanal & Le Grappin – White Wine Barrel Fermented Ratchet (Collaboration with Prairie Artisan Ales) – White Wine Barrel Aged Maiden – Red Wine Barrel Aged Broken Dream – Red Wine Barrel Aged with Brettanomyces and Bugs Jack Tarr – A Smoked Mild Aged in Red Wine Barrels with Brettanomyces Acid Jam – Red Wine Barrel Aged (Original blend released earlier this year) Calypso (Fresh from the tank for vibrancy) The barrel-aged beers were selected for their aroma and acidity. After blending the beer was returned to barrels for another 3 months (in red wine barrels from which part of the original blend was drawn, plus some bourbon barrels which previously housed Acid Jam). A small addition of seasonal British fruit was added to some of the barrels. The fruit additions total ~75g/L in the overall blend, consisting of 40% cherries and 60% blackcurrants. The resulting beer has a gorgeous oak character with prominent red wine tannin influence, bramble & berries and a fruity acidity on the palate. Of course there’s a complexity too, and our tasting notes pick up floral notes, almonds, umami and a delicate funkiness from the brettanomyces. As always, we’d love to know how your tastings compare.
