Brew York – Albus Crumbledore, mixed fruit crumble sour (4.6% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Name: Albus Crumbledore

1. Brewery: Brew York
2. Aroma : Mulled wine with sour winter berries.
3. Appearance : Deep scarlet, with a pink head when poured which quickly turned to a film.
4. Body : Medium bodied, a decent to strong level of astringency but very smooth, ok to low carbonation with poor head retention.
5. Taste : Tangy berries followed by sweet vanilla, with a big hit of malty biscuityness that created a pastry crumble like finish.

This has a strong sour punch and was very reminiscent of mulled wine. The blend of sour and the vanilla crumbly finish made this a very complex but morish mouthful.

Overall it was a “magical” drinkable experience.

Our overall rating: 4.2/ 5.0
