Looking for commercial example of wet horse blanket.

Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:57 am

I was talking Belgians today at lunch and the topic came up but my buddy had never tasted that flavor. I have but could not recall a specific beer. Anybody have a good commercial example that I can bring in?

Any non-fruit lambic or gueuze should have some of varying degree.

You can also get it from the Lindemans Peche which is fairly easy to obtain.

An aged Orval can have that as well.

I know I sure have brewed some wild brett ales that showcased that aroma and flavor and after drininking them for a while, I kind of got sick of having just that flavor in my beer. I prefer more complexity from the wild critters now. Sometimes brewing when brewing with brett the yeast can really "run" away with your beer I guess.

Dont know where you live...but...Wild Devil from Victory has a great horse blanket thing going on, nice beer too. If not, Orval is my vote
Pouring - Infidel Porter, Pallino Wit
Fermenting - Till a rustic Saison
On Deck - Abbey Dubbel, Belgian Golden Strong maybe with brett
