Profile

More than a few of Duclaw Brewing’s beers have come across the slate of the Craft Club, and when you get a taste of their creations it’s no mystery why. The off-the-wall brewing ideas of Dave Benfield continue to challenge American craft brewing to think harder, brave the strange, and deliver on beers that take classic styles to the outer limits. Their Baltimore facility has been pumping out tasty brews that cross the nations, the waters of the world, and light up taste buds across the globe. The only deviation in their work is the names and styles they chose to electrify. Seven year round beers grace their taps, and the same number of limited release beers come our way as well. All of them turn tradition on its ear. Sour Me Gummy Bear is a fruity, sweet sour ale with a strong grain backbone. If you like the idea of jamming nickel candy into your mouth, it’ll appeal to your palate. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for six months.

Look

Pours a bright, golden colour with a hazy body and light carbonation. A thin ring of small bubbles is all that’s left after the pour.

Smell

The sweet, sticky aroma of gummy bears - so mostly sugar - takes over the nose of this beer. You’ll catch a bit of fruit in the background, but it’s tough to tease it apart.

Taste

The flavour of this beer comes in two parts. At first all you’ll taste is the sweetness of the gummies and fresh pineapple chunks. But that cuts off pretty quickly and the lightly toasted grain malt stomps in. The sweeter components have the volume turned way down and the tasting sticks to the grain as it fades off to a slightly dry finish.

Pairing

This one stands alone, enjoy it solo and really dig into what it has to offer.
