Cuvée De Ranke
Cuvée De Ranke is a masterfully blended Straight Sour Beer, combining seventy percent barrel-aged sour ale with thirty percent authentic Girardin Lambic. This synergy results in a complex sensory profile defined by a sharp, lemony lactic acidity and deep, earthy funk. The influence of the lambic component introduces cider-like nuances and a subtle vinous character, while the time spent in oak barrels adds structural wood notes and a softened mouthfeel. Despite its vibrant acidity, the beer maintains a sophisticated balance between citrus-forward tartness and a bready malt backbone, finishing crisp, dry, and exceptionally refreshing with an evolving depth.
Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (5–8 SRM). Large, frothy white head with moderate to poor retention. High effervescence with slight haze from the mixed fermentation cultures.
Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness with a sharp, lemony edge. Pronounced notes of tart apple, citrus, and a distinctive earthy, funky character from the Girardin Lambic. Mild bready malt sweetness and a faint hint of neutral oak are present. No hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and tart. Dominated by clean lactic sourness and citrus-heavy fruitiness. The lambic contribution adds complex layers of funk and aged cider. Malt flavor is low, providing a thin, bready support. Hop bitterness is undetectable. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering, vinegary tartness that remains approachable.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body, offering more substance than a typical Berliner Weisse. High carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing prickle. A subtle alcoholic warmth is present at seven percent. Minimal astringency.

This blended beer sees a complex array of aromatics and flavours brought by several factors; golden malts give notes of warm bread crust and honey, the hops provide subtle spicy and floral components, while the barrel character mixed with the addition of lambic beer add notes of ripe cherries swaddled in a mild Brett horse blanket, tobacco with peach, apricot, pear, charred lemon, and wet slate. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with balancing acidity and a bone dry finish.
