Sulauze Sour Noise Barrel Oak is an experimental sour ale from Brasserie de Sulauze in Provence. The beer spends six months maturing in oak barrels, creating an unexpected interplay of flavours. Lactic fermentation delivers the acidity, while oak aging adds warm, woody undertones that define the character.

The beer pours hazy reddish-brown with a creamy white head. On the nose, tart fruit aromas emerge alongside subtle wood and bretty notes. The palate is light and fluid, with a clean sour attack that merges with oak-driven flavours. At 5.5% ABV, this is a thoughtfully crafted crossover that rewards curiosity.
