by brentk56 from North Carolina
Appearance: Pours slightly hazy and golden colored; the head fades but leaves plenty of lacing
Smell: Acetic and funky, with the oak barrel dominant and a hint of peach
Taste: As with the aroma, acetic and funky, from the outset, with the oak and peach tones developing; in the middle, the vinegar tones recede slightly, allowing the cheesy funk to emerge; after the swallow, the acetic tones re-emerge, bringing home the finish along with the oak and the peach
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; quite puckery
Overall: This is one of those beers that shows Side Project's mastery of the style

A big thanks to Jeff for this one. My first Side Project beer! 750ml capped bottle into a Surly teku. Shared with schen9303.
Nose is apricot, hay and oak. Deep with a cheesy funk. Its rare to detect that last note in an American Wild. Beer opens oak, stone fruit, vinegar, nail polish, coriander and hay. The funk is certainly present here with a big dose of puckering tartness and various stone fruit (peaches and apricot). This one evolves with the tartness gradually dropping out from sip to sip and the funk, wet wood, hay and cobwebs building. Very good. Feel is light bodied with ample carbonation. Puckering in the mouth and filmy and more pucker going down. Real nice.
I'm thoroughly impressed by this beer. Hopefully its not the last I'll have from Side Project!

Bottle poured into fluted snifter.
Orange, slight haze, but end of the bottle pour will make for quite a hazy brew if you're not careful with the sediment.
Tart candy aroma, slight earthy peach and woodiness from the barrels.
Tart and acidic at first sip, but layers of flavor come out as it warms and my taste buds become accustomed. Light peach candy, hint of funk, white wine grapes.
Soft, smooth, moderate carbonation and medium body.
Delicious and delicate while being up front and assertive with its level of tartness and acidity.
