Reviewed from notes. On-tap at Blue Palms for Drakes/Triple Rock Tap Takeover.
Pours a hazy burgundy reddish brown with trace head. Smell is acetic vinegar. Taste is tart and oaky tannins with a mild pucker. Odd bird.

On-tap at Blue Palms for Drakes/Triple Rock Tap Takeover

A: The beer pours a golden orange sort of color with a thin ring of white head.

S: Doesn't smell terribly intense. Some definite wine and oak notes with a fair amount of grass and a moderate funkiness to it. Hints of vinegar, but at least it doesn't have the signature nail polish remove aroma of Drake's sour beers.

T: The flavor is quite similar to the nose. Not super intense in any way. Some grassy and mildly herbal notes along with some charred and wet oak flavors. Hints of sourness to it and a mild vinegar note.

M: Medium in body with a moderate carbonation.

O: The good thing about this beer is that it wasn't awful (like it could have been). But not very good either.
