Light fizzy head, a little lacing and retention, sour like legs
Nose nice tart American sour, good bacteria like funk, a little malt vinegar sour funk, a bit of juicy sour blueberry flesh
Taste more tartness, typical American sour with mild bacteria funk, little malt vinegar acidity, mild blueberry flesh, generic blueberry flesh, quite acidic, creamy doughy wheat, slight flemmy finish, big acidity
Mouth is med bod super acidic and somewhat flemmy, light fizzy carb
Overall quite nice, nice sour, wish the blueberry was a bit more prominent, otherwise nice.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy blueberry juice hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps.
S - Aromas of nice barnyard funk, good softer lemons, light wheat. Blueberries are rather light.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice creamy wheat lacto tartness. Little lemon, decent enough blueberry notes. Little flemmy.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, good crispness, little flemmy.
O - Overall this was a rather solid wild ale thigh I wish the blueberry was more aggressive.

Pours a deep cherry red. Fizzy head rises up and quickly sweeps itself away... kind of like watching a flock of birds duck and swoop in unison you see the head literally swell and then sweep across the top into nonexistence. No lacing.
The second half of the bottle featured at least a little bit of fur around the cuff as retention, and must have had a touch of sediment as the body wasn't as clear either.
Nose is lightly tart with unmistakable berry juice hiding beneath.
Deceptively sour it doesn't really hit until the culminating point, but once it does, it keeps drawing you up that well. Starts off with more berry skin sweet/tart balance. Builds some lemon acidity and just picks up steam escalating the sourness/acidity through the finish. Just the faintest nod to an almost rye toast comes in periodically, but it's way behind everything else.
The story of this one is tart acidity, that is draped in berry trappings.
As it warms and I reach the end of the bottle (and approach it more in sips than mouthfuls), the sour nature is still there, but doesn't overwhelm quite as much and the berry element protrudes just a bit further, though it is still mostly nebulous and just there to rein the sour/tart in perhaps a touch.
Leaves behind that sticky residue that so many sours seem to do, and its fine but exuberant carbonation serves the tartness well. Building to a puckering finish/aftertaste.
Fans of heavy sours will probably dig this.
