Bottle 20 of 120
Appearance: Pours a burnt orange color with a one finger head; reasonable retention and spotty lacing
Smell: Acetic and rustic, with a funky woodsy farmhouse aroma; lemony tones, as well
Taste: Two layers of flavor emerge, with an acetic lemon tone buttressed by the woodsy farmhouse funk; the two flavor elements intermingle with the acetic side lingering into the finish; the rum barrel adds just a touch of sweetness on the tip of the tongue
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Eight years in the bottle, and this beer has held together; a lot going on in multiple directions with just the right level of acetic sourness

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #70 (November 2012):
Aged 6 months in a “magic” barrel and then 3 more months in a rum barrel. Beautiful, Green Man should dabble more in the sour beer arena with the successful creation of this ale. One more shining star to make both sides of the beer scene proud in the Ashville area.
STYLE: American WIld Ale
ABV: 6.8%
AVAILABILITY: Limited
LOOK: Reddish chestnut hue, long trail of lace
SMELL: Tart, lemony, faint eucalyptus, earthy, woody, mint, bread, mild fusel alcohol, slight brown sugar
TASTE: Very tart, toasted wood, musty, earthy, minty, smooth, walnuts, faint rum, yeasty, herbal, lemon, spicy, a little warming, sour drying finish

Bottle #99 / 120 at the Rose Inn. Olde Hickory snifter. Bottle is almost 2 years old.
Pours a cloudy murky brown with a slight head. Smell is quite funky with the brett but you can tell it has mellowed out on the tartness just a bit even in the aroma. Flavor is also mellowed out but extremely funky. The brett is definitely more developed and cuts through the pedio. Not very sour here...probably would have had more of a lip puckering bite to it fresh but i dont think it was that sour to begin with. Body is a tad lacking... i think this might have been green mans first sour though im not positive. i definitely prefer the newer ones they have brewed since. overall solid.
