At first pour, looks OK, nice white head, but that subsides quickly and leaves nothing.
Aromas are of lemons/limes... taste is mild, and in no way 'lengthy'.
It's also dull and flat, needs more zest. Watery for 6.5%
It's almost like any barreling made the beer dull and stale rather than anything else :-(

Looks awesome after pour. Pale yellow with a green hue? Hazy, bubbly. Big fluffy white head, good lacing, medium-long retention.

Nose is decent. Pretty heavy lacto sourness (unripe green apple/peach), beneath there's a heap of green herb and floral notes. Bit of tame grassy/hay funk. Tannic oak.

The taste is so far off the nose, it's crazy. White wine grapey funk hits at front, followed by lemon rind. Odd - fresh green grass, and watery?? A fleeting moment of fruit, nondescript but sweet. Heavy oak, a bitterness that carries through.

Nice and dry, solid carbonation, light-medium bodied.

Overall, it's pretty disjointed. I'd say it's over-oaked, messy, and just not my thing. It's odd because most others I've talked to really enjoyed the fruit in this, I get essentially nothing
