On tap the the Republic in Minneapolis.
Dark reddish-brown body; clear with a thin head that soon reduced to a ring.
I had a typical reaction to this wild ale in that the aroma was a bit unappealing in some respects, but the BBL aging certainly improved this. The flavor was good, nicely complex and not too funky, with limited BBL effects A bit tart and lightly fruity, Near full bodied with light carbonation.
O: Exceptionally interesting brew. .
