Beers similar to Grand Cru Bruocsella

Lambic·Belgium·5% ABV·One of 4 Lambics in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grand Cru Bruocsella's tart and sour character. A vintage lambic: all the beer comes from a single production season and matures three years in barrel. It is not refermented in the bottle, so it stays still and flat. The taste is complex and vinous with a light oxidation, the tartness folding into a softer body. Long storage brings out nuances of toasted bread. The brewery recommends drinking it from a wine glass.
