Amager / Crooked Stave Chad, King of The Wild Yeast

Amager / Crooked Stave Chad, King of The Wild Yeast

After long years of the beer community discussing hops to exhaustion, yeast is finally getting a glimpse of the spotlight following what seemed to be a lengthy Batman-like existence: outcast, living in the shadows, not getting enough credit for his work. However, the importance of fermentation is no news to Chad from Crooked Stave, a.k.a. the king of Hipsters, who has been fondling with various fermenting agents for longer than most people have been drinking. So it was that on a beautiful – yet excruciatingly hungover – Wednesday Mr Yakobsen came to Amager to bombard us simpletons with his knowledge on all things yeasty, and especially, bretty. Due to stubbornness from our end, we still insisted the brew carried a motherf#&@ of hops, despite intents of a brett forward beer. The answer to what ingredient won the battle lies within this bottle. But in our opinion, we are all winners.

3.9 Bottle. Golden pour. Aroma of dry funk, lots of horseblanket, citrus, green apple, brett and even more funk. Taste has nice dry brett, horseblanket, funk, green apple, citrus and citric hops. Really dry and bretty, yet also hoppy. Like a hopped-up orval.
3.5 Couleur dorée bien limpide et bien brillante. Mousse généreuse et balèze en terme de tenu. Au nez pas de doute, y a d'la brett la d'dans, c'est bien funky, bien fermier. C'est même très sauvAAAAge ! En bouche c'est fin et délicat. On retrouve le côté bretté/fermier, mais sans la moindre violence, ça se fait tout en douceur. L'amertume est de rigueur en première partie alors que l'acidité est discrète en seconde partie. En troisième partie l'amertume strikes back. Des notes poivrées viennent également se taper l'incruste en cours de route. Corps correct, carbo correcte, c'est plutôt sec. Le côté Dry Hopped n'est pas flagrant en terme d'aromatique, mais se ressent donc davantage au niveau de l'amertume. Sympa.
3.9 Color amarillo pálido, ligera turbidez. Dos dedos de espuma con buena retención. Aroma a lúpulo fresco con notas de cítricos y fruta tropical, mucha granja, heno y ligero toque de sidra. Gusto a corral, "caca de vaca" bastante descarado, granja, heno, paja, y al final de todo este zoo aparecen cítricos, piel de limón, ligeramente ácida, amarga y muy seca. Cuerpo acuoso. Wild Beer sin piedad, si lees la descripción pensarás que estoy loco y que esa birra no te la bebes ni de coña, seguramente haces bien, pero a mi me ha encantado, la fiesta de Brett y con buena carga de lúpulos, a parte de ser compleja y extrema, te garantiza unas buenas risas, que puta locura de birra.

2.9 Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een troebel geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige en hoppige geur. Het heeft een wat citrus achtige en wrange smaak. Earlier Rating: 4/7/2019 Total Score: 3.3 Fles gedeelt met Inoven. Het is een troebel geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige en hoppige geur. Het heeft een ananas achtige en wat citrus achtige smaak welke over gaat in volle hop en bitterheid.
3.2 Flesje gedeeld door Tomhendriksen. Goudgeel troebel bier, flink schuimend tijdens inschenken. Aroma is fruitig en hoppig. Smaak is zoet en hoppig. Nasmaak is bitter.
4.0 Bottle from BevMo! in Willow Glen, CA. Aroma is heavy Brett funk, old wooden casket, citrus, white pepper, mild hop under carriage. Taste is funky wood, lemon, spicy hops. Very funky and delicious.
3.0 Gouden bier met een zurige en gistige smaak. Heeft naast citrus zuur ook iets van melk zuur. Verder smaakt hier bier kruidig en naar graan. (Beery Christmas 2018)
3.9 Una gran bella birra. Non ho sentito molte note fruttate, ma un amaro persistente, che ho apprezzato molto.
3.0 Bouteille 33 cl - couleur blonde or avec mousse blanche qui tient pas beaucoup, odeur ananas, goût amére dès la première gorgée, suit ananas, fruit de la passion et un peu de sucre, pas mauvaise
3.6 Zapach intensywny, stajnia, końska derka, skóra, brzoskwinie, cytrusy. Kolor słomkowy, mętne. Piana niska, drobna, szybko znika, lekki lacing. W smaku wytrawne, średnia pełnia, cytrusy, trawa, zioła, stajnia. Goryczka średnia, wysycenie wysokie.
3.8 Bottle at home, leftover from beery Christmas. True to its promise this is a really hoppy farmhouse ale, a combination which holds up in this beer. The aroma is really funky and yeasty, with fruity and vinous notes. Medium body. Flavour is lightly malty with a surprising amount of citrus fruit and a lot of hoppiness at medium bitterness. Acidic and tart without being full-blown sour. Finished tart and bittersweet, with lingering citrus notes. A lovely Brett pale ale which convinced me more with each sip. Might be looking for this in summer!
3.4 Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow. Aroma is pure Brett, citric, farmhouse. Body is medium, pure farmhouse and stables and dung, fizzy carbonation. Super dry, more of what we had. One dimensional though. If somebody never had brett, give them this to show what it is.
3.2 Birra iPa molto fruttata. Forte il gusto di limone e tropicale in genere. Molto secca, preferisco quelle più corpose. Gradazione da 5 gradi...
3.2 Bottle from Saveur bière.com. Hazy golden color, white head. Not fruity that much, too acid for an apa, too hoppy for a Brett.. Not a well balanced beer to me.
3.7 Color naranja claro, translúcida. Espuma blanca, jabonosa, de media altura y buena retención. Aroma ácido, herbal, a paja y un toque picante. Sabor ácido, mucha paja y heno que rebaja esta sensación de inmediato, cierto dulzor cítrico a mitad de trago y final amargo, casi astringente, muy duradero. Sorprendentemente amable y sencilla de beber. Textura sedosa. Carbonatación media baja aunque la acidez aumenta la sensación.
2.4 Amarga, ácida y turbia. Estéticamente atractiva, pero más allá de eso, no gran cosa.
3.3 Nez qui inspire rapidement le lambic et la pomme ainsi que le fameux houblon citra. Mousse éphémère. Robe d'un blond pâle moyennement opaque. Bouche légère, amertume et goût fruité du houblon citra.
4.0 Beery Christmas 2018
3.7 Bottle 0.33l from Berry Christmas advent calendar 2018. 13.01.2019. Pour it slighty hazy golden color with small white head. Aroma straw, light funky herbs. Taste old hoppy note, herbal touch, funky dry finish, quite spicy after taste. Decent brew, nice balanced.
3.4 Flaska från Berry Christmas. Klar, gyllengul kulör med vit skumkrona. Doft av brett och citrus. Torr och lätt besk munkänsla. Smak av brett, grapefrukt, gräs och apelsinskal. Halvfyllig kropp.
4.2 (> frais-bergamote, onctuo-moussue, > dry hop (petite mais costaude, gentille, mais maousse), fleur-hop)
2.3 Pues amarga, acida, los Brett no dejan buen sabor. Un experimento fallido a mi gusto. No pienso volver a probarla.
2.3 Bottiglia del Beery Christmas 2018. Completamente sbilanciata sul lievito. Solo al naso si sente una parvenza tropicale. Al palato il Brett anestetizza tutto.
4.3 Cervesa numero vint-i-un del calandari d’advent Beery Christmas 2018 pale ale llupolada
3.4 Bottle of 33cl, in a Tulip glass; from the fridge. A nice pale ale with really nice carbonation. The colour is pale gold yellow, hazy. Good.
2.6 Colore giallo carico, schiuma grana grossolana abbastanza persistente. Naso Brett e leggero tropicale. Gusto iniziale amaro da luppolatura leggermente coperto dal Brett. Successivamente Brett forse troppo invadente e molto secca sul finale.
3.3 33cl flesje via Hopt Alcoholpercentage van 5% Uitgeschonken in Hopt glas Uiterlijk: goudkleurig met goede witte schuimkraag Aroma en smaak: neus is flink gistig, smaak is goed bitter, wilde Brett gistig, fruitig citrus Conclusye: erg in de gist
3.3 Bevuta in bottiglia. Bionda con forti profumi di luppolo. Moderatamente amara. Buon corpo.
3.3 Un peu trop amère en arrière bouche. Mais bière très parfumée et qui évolue au fil du temps . Fruits exotiques au début puis agrumes style pamplemousse orange.
