32oz Inland NW Ale Trail "grunt" filled at the Ramblin' Road tap room for $7. Apparently this was brewed with Lacto and Brett. I'm still a bit of a NOOB when it comes to beers like this (I've only had a handful of examples of the style, all from Belgium, IIRC). I kinda know what Brett is but my knowledge of Lacto is virtually nonexistent.
Poured a dark brown, cola-like color, and took on a dark ruby look when held up to light. Virtually no head at all. This may have been due to the growler, as I've come to believe it's an inferior design, compared to the other true 32oz growler I own, purchased from Growler Guys.
Tart, dark cherry scents are what jumped out at first. Things are a little bit winey, with a little bit of funk way in the background.
Tart, dark cherry flavor mostly, like in the aroma, with a little bit of acidity (the Lacto?). Wineish character without tasting particularly winey. Finishes dry, but it's not like a hoppy dryness.
Light bodied, with a coating, slightly pricky mouthfeel.
I think I'd enjoy a snifter of this a little more at the brewery. It didn't age as well as I had hoped - as I mentioned above I think the design of this growler is a bit flawed. Still, I enjoyed drinking it, as I think most fans of the style would. I wouldn't consider it a replacement for, say, Duchesse De Bourgonne (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong), but it's still very good and I'm very glad someone locally is brewing this style of beer.
