UPDATED: MAY 14, 2021 Bottle from Hollingshead Deli. Pours golden lots of suds. Aroma is grains, funky basement, sparkling wine. Taste is pretty pretty sour. No distinct wood or citrua fruit in particular, but this one'll make you pucker. Long dry finish. Really nice, wasn't fully aware how rare a pickup thia one was. Apparently it's not often bottled.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2021 375ml corked bottle, 2019 vintage. Tart grapefruit aroma with notes of apple, white wine, oak and Brett funk. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has little retention and some lacing. Starts with apple, white wine and oak flavors as well as having a lively mouthfeel. Finishes bone dry with grapefruit and be Bretty funk flavors. Tart, refreshing sour.

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2020 8 July 2020. Random Wednesday Tasting; cheers to Anke & Tim! Many, many thanks to Nathalie for providing the bottle! Bottle date: 6/5/2018. Pours clear golden with a lasting, very thin, frothy, white head. Complex aroma of horseblanket, yellow & green apple, vinegar, wet oak, white grapes, kiwi, gooseberry, fresh yoghurt, vague salami, lemon, funky hay. Taste is a sour & fruity core of apple, kiwi & gooseberry with a lemony edge, touch of vinegar, lactic yoghurty body mixing with a bready maltiness, toned down by a woody bitterness which becomes more pronounced in the finish, rather dry & tannic, faint old earthy & grassy hops but funky still, with white grape & 'end of stonefruit' lingering. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very complex, bit past its prime but still hugely drinkable, can definitely compete with the better Belgian Sours out there.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2020 0,375l bottle from the brewery, shared with wiosna @ home. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium head. Aroma is complex sour malts. Flavor is complex sour malts, some oak, some vinegar. Quite tasty.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2020 Solid sour. Tart but subtle. Complex and balanced. Strong Lambic notes with yeast and mild fruitiness.

UPDATED: JAN 4, 2020 Bottle thanks to Keith from Anchorage crew! Poured an amber rust with bubbles. Aroma is huge oaky fruit. Taste is sour fruit oaky woodsy grapes linger on my tongue. This is a gorgeous beer, can't believe it took me so long to try this!

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2019 Gold pour, white head. Character of barnyard, ,grape, some fruit. Very dry. Quite nice!

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2019 Sampled at Great American Beer Festival 2019 in Denver, Colorado. Tart, light, dry, sour.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2019 6%ABV. Lambic Poured out pale gold. 4°SRM. Nose has aromas of lactic funk referencing buttermilk with a fuller, creamier sour which is much less tart than that of a yogurt. Funk in the nose also suggests barnyard, hay, and sweat. There is a slightly cheese-like funk to the nose that suggests a hard cheese like aged Parmesan. Fruit aromas reference unripe plums, cranberries, and raspberries. Mouthfeel is full and juicy balanced by an active carbonation from bottle conditioning and a nice rounded sour that is forward, but just short of tart. Palate has flavors of water biscuit, soda crackers. There is a hint of maltiness at the very end, referencing the above. Hop flavors are woody if present. Finish is dry with a clean woody, oak-like bitter. There are some aromatics in the finish that suggest incense, sandalwood, and aged teak. There is a dusty, perfumy aspect to the finish which adds some nice complexity to the overall experience. An element of “Kam” or the dry astringency of an expensive dry ume or Chinese huamei rounds the finish off very very nicely indeed. Overall, an enjoyable, complex barrel-aged sour which in palate and character is reminiscent of a Belgian gueuze. I really liked this one, and it may be my particular predilection for spontaneously-fermented and wood-aged sour ales that are the product of multiple organisms each contributing something to the final product. Goes on Favorites List!

UPDATED: APR 23, 2019 Bottle, by way of a trade. Mostly clear gold. Slim halo of white. Nose has preserved lemon. Fresh cut oak. Lime leaf. Vanilla pod. Smelly brett. Some leather. Taste is dry and tart, with an oaky, apple like sweetness. Medium body. A little oily. Fine carbonation. Some astringency. Finish gets tart, dry, bretty and funky. Nice one, predictably.
