Holy guacamole is it sour! Not a bad thing but it hits you and will wake you up in the morning for sure. Got it at the brewery in a flight and it complemented the others well.

Pours a clear salmon color. 1/5 inch head of a white color. Poor retention and poor lacing. Smells of strong bacterial funk, slight liquor, slight alcohol, fruit, and slight wood. Fits the style of an American Wild Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is a strong tartness and noticeable dryness. Tastes of strong bacterial funk, slight liquor, slight alcohol, fruit, and slight wood. Overall, very tart, tasty, simplistic, and quite good.

Pours a lightly cloudy ruby red with half a finger light tan head that fades quickly.

Aroma is nice tart berries, brett, funk and dry oak riding on a bready malt like base that adds an underlying sweetness at least for me.

Taste is wow yep tart lots of brett mingled with blackberries, dry oak and the acid vinegar the others were talking about, strange to me smelled lightly sweet and tart but does not taste that way at all, no sweetness here. After first few sips doesn't seem as tart and maybe hints of sweeter malts poke through just a touch.

Mouthfeel is light carbonation seems to carry the brett to the front.

Overall nice tart treat but doesn't seem complex as better wild ales kind of one dimensional even though the nose hinted otherwise.

L - Ruby red, cloudy, no clarity. 1 finger of head. Gorgeous brew

S - Vinegar and tartness

T - Puckering sourness, vinegar, blackberries and other dried fruit. Highly acidic! Tasty.

F - Well carbonated, sizzles on my tongue.

O - An excellent barrel aged sour from the Sweetwater Woodlands project. Need more like this one! Well done

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Pours a near clear, pink-reddish body in hue with a thinning, white head.

Smell: Sharp with a strong, almost knowingly forceful nod towards its acidic nature. Otherwise, it's funk enveloped oak and berries.

Taste: Funky, tart, puckering berries with a pointed acidity, a touch of buttered biscuits, some middling sourness midway through. Fruity blackberries, a hint of vanilla and an increasing buttery oaken element. Closes out smooth but still resolutely acidic.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Lively carbonation.

Overall: Fairly decent.
