À propos

À tue-tête Rouge Bourbon is a Red Sour Ale from the Swiss craft blendery À tue-tête, based in Aigle. This 6.5% ABV beer is matured in bourbon casks, adding layers of oak and vanilla character to its sour foundation. The beer appears hazy brown in the glass with minimal head. The nose reveals a complex interplay of malt, funk, oak, and overripe dark fruit with prune notes. The palate balances moderate sweetness and sourness, with oak tones from bourbon maturation contributing depth. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation, this is a smooth and approachable sour. The finish carries the beer's characteristic tartness alongside subtle oak and dark fruit echoes.
