Beer 45: Bockor des Jacobins Rouge
No matter how terrible you feel, I double-dog dare you to listen to this, not sing along on the top of your lungs and finish with a smile on your face. Not that I spent approximately three minutes of my evening commute doing just that...
Let's just leave it at I feel a lot more optimistic now than I did at 5:37pm.

Tonight I'm sampling Bockor's des Jacobins Rouge. I had to pull a photo from the brewery's website since I had this one from the tap at Teresa's Next Door. It is a Flemish sour ale that pours with ruby highlights in the brown-color ale. It poured with a loose two finger head that slowly faded away. It had a whiff of funkiness from the yeast with some fruit scented undertones. It was love at first sniff. It drinks with a fantastic tartness - specifically tart cherry. The sourness morphed from tart fruit, some lemon and then into a nice dry finish. I would call it exceptional. Goddamnit. I can't possibly put this in my potential top 25, can I?
