A good sour but lacks a defining element. There is a measured level of tartness, farmhouse yeast and a crisp body yet I was searching for something more. You can find a little apricot floating in the background but it never actualizes.

 

 

On tap at Strangelove's. Arrives in a Strange glass, hazy yellow with a finger of foam. Nice sour tartness without being tongue curling. Easy to drink. Aroma has a crisp earthiness. Oak also comes through but is nicely balanced by the tartness. Enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap at Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, PA.

This one pours a slightly hazy pale yellow, with no head or lacing.

Smells super herbal and super earthy, a bit smoky, tons of oak, lemon peel, and some lactic sourness.

This tastes so earthy, like i'm drinking lemony and funky dirt, honestly. There's definitely some smokiness, which is puzzling, and lots of oak. It's pretty much an oak bomb. There's some funky cheesiness too. All of this flavors somehow come together pretty well and make a really nice sour.

This is fairly light bodied, with a moderate to lower level of carbonation.

This was a pretty unique and definitely tasty sour.

 

 

 

 

"100% wild fermented ale, aged in new oak for two years". This is a serious sour, funky and stinky and unique. It hits all the barnyard notes you expect, and then some. Dirty diaper, dead skunk, stale piss, cow shit. Wonderful.

The body could use a little more work and heftiness, but overall this is a wonderful, bizarre brew.

Golden clear and bubbled with white head. Very musty earthy smell. Tastes unbelievably complex. Flavors from everywhich direction. Very earthy, oaky taste. Finishes sour. Some lingering flavor but fading carbonation. Overall pretty good. Very sour though.
