The Dissident, from Deschutes Brewery's Reserve Series.
Fermented for more than 18 months in isolation from the rest of the beers, The Dissident is a distinctive Flanders-style sour brown ale from Deschutes Brewery, with a fruity aroma and flavor.
If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle, the fruit and acidity in The Dissident make it ideal for pairing with a wide variety of dishes. The high acidity is perfect for cutting creamy dishes or cooling spicy ones. Because of the fruity characteristics derived from the cherries, the beer also pairs well with chocolate.
Deschutes Brewery President and Founder Gary Fish recommends pairing The Dissident with anything chocolate — the darker the better — soft cheeses like Brie, and creamy dishes like spaghetti carbonara or macaroni and cheese.
