“Full-bodied sour flavor, with notes of oak.”
“Initial light smoky notes. Old cherry swaddled in a mild Brett horse blanket or tobacco with peach and pear. Mild crust, biscuit malt. Moderate lime, persimmon esters help to emphasize some sweetness while balancing acidity.”
“Charred lemon, punchy floral, and wet slate on the nose. A malt-forward bread-crust warmth takes the edge off the citrus acidity.”
“Raspberry and cranberry-like aromas with sourdough bread and leathery funk. Bold sour raspberry slowly fades into a mouthcoating funk with hints of leather, smoke, and a light oaky tannin.”
**Aroma:** “Lactic tart acidity leads with lemon and orange citrus character and a touch of chalky, light malt character- istics. Brett notes of lemon zest up front and maybe a hint of peppery mercaptan and very light smoky phenolics.” **Flavor:** “Bold lactic tartness hits up front with strong lemon and orange. Spiced character and earthy, funky Brett character supports the fruit. Nice carbonation level. While there’s some tartness, it’s fairly softened by age—main flavor is a very nice earthy barnyard. A bit like drinking a margarita given the flavor profile of mostly tart citrus. Dry and lingering acidity.” **Overall:** “If you like tart sour candy, you would really enjoy this beer. The lactic sourness isn’t too sticky, and it has a nice warming character with smoky and pepper phenolics that add to the overall complexity. Well aged, very interesting with sour complexity and Brett.”
“The sweet caramel nose has a light vegetal note with some mild graininess. The flavor doubles down on that grainy element, with flecks of fresh-crushed Munich and melanoidin malts that provide depth for the honey-caramel maltiness.”
