This is our new Haandbakk Vintage 2006 (our sour
ale) and it was bottled 22 march 2008.
This is an historic moment for us as this is the first time
for more than hundred years or much longer that a
brewery in Norway has made a sour beer using wild
yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
This beer was brewed in sept. 06 and has since then
been aged in oak barrels until bottling day.
The beer is blended for roundness but is still very sour
and a little bit acetic. We think our first attempt has
been a great success and we will definitely try this again.
8.5% alc. 20 ibu
Serve at 8-12C
This beer is not pasteurised and will develop further
with aging. Haandbakk is a beer with a rustic style
rather than a smooth and polished product.

I’m not sure if there is anything better than transitioning
from the rich earthy bitterness of an Imperial Stout to
the sweet tartness of a Sour Ale. Batch 49 brewed
10/10/06. Its a gusher, pours a clear very dark chestnut
brown with a silky fine medium beige frothy foam 9/10
for appearance. I love sour ales! What an aroma, rich
and tart varnish, vinegar, nail-polish remover, it takes
me back to grade-school and sniffing markers. It tastes
just like it smells, very acidic with strong cheesy woody
notes, not refined like De Dolle Oerbier Reserva, but
very much an in-your-face brew. Burns the nostrils as
you swallow. Addicting in a masochistic sort of way.
Tastes of tart cherries with light strawberry fruitiness.
Medium bodied with a fuller mouthful, fluffy very smooth
carbonation while still being crisp. Yum.
