Zuur epitomizes the idea that “Sour is the new hoppy,” as professed by growing numbers of American craft beer brewers, writers and aficionados. Zuur is a collaboration beer brewed in conjunction with Liefmans Brewery of Oudenaarde Belgium. A carefully devised blend of two aged Liefmans ales, Zuur is tart yet with an enjoyable amount of maltiness, and a touch of berry and vinous flavor and aroma. The two blended beers are an aged old ale of at least 12 months, and an ale aged on cherries. Zuur also uses spontaneous inoculation with air-borne Lactobacillus to create its complex character. The beer is a translucent, reddish brown with no residual yeast. Full carbonation and creamy tan head. It’s well-balanced, with a hint of sweetness, gentle maltiness, and a quick, clean finish.

Ommegang Zuur pairs well with foods that enjoy a touch of lemon, such as seafood or a light veal dish.
