Yields a copper, glowing brown color, with no head at all.
Aromas are defined by a berry tartness with a musty, wooden barrel character, wrapped up by a fermented, slightly sweet vinegar note, among big chunks of lemon rind.
Begins, with a pungent, zesty berry note with gentle, bready, oaken malts for providing a profound balance. Leather notes blend into a very dry brett defined tartness. The lower carbonation leaves a bit more space for the berry sourness on the palate than you would usualy expect, developing well with the help of a noticable lemon peel infusion. Ends with a convincing amount of sour berries, which got some kind of stone fruit quality to them, as well as a lot of wood, completed by slightly sweeter malts, including a fermented component.

Reviewing Boring from the Goose Island Beer Company out of Chicago, Illinois. From what I gather, this beer is a blend of "unintentionally infected" Juliet and Madame Rose.

Tap pour served in a plastic glass and enjoyed on 05/19/13. We got to sample this one while staying after the event to help clean up and move stuff around. Review is from iPhone notes at Goose Island's summer block party.
Appearance: Pours a dark amber color, surprisingly clean in appearance but not transparent. Served with a thin layer of off-white head that settles to a wispy coating. There is not much to say about lacing and retention when your pour is served in a plastic cup... 4/5
Smell: Raspberry, blackberry, grape, lacto, vinegar and a little malt. Nice fruited medley. 4.25/5
Taste: Sweeter than tart with a nice vinegar presence. Same fruit as the nose, though the blackberry is the dominant fruit. Mild spice character and a little oak too. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel: Light-plus bodied, good carbonation for the profile. Sweeter than tart. 4/5
Overall: Not as good as Scarlett or Laura (come on Goose Island, bottle them!), but it is better than Lolita and Juliet in my opinion. Was quite glad to have the chance to tick this one!
Cost: Free! (well, I did have to pay for a ticket to get in...)
