I think this beer is damn near perfect. It was on the store shelf for a few years before I could cough up 14$ for a bottle of 5%. But so glad I did. Has that strong tart acid of an aged foeder but the dry hopping mellows it out and gives it a dank floral overtone. It's hoppy, sour, perhaps bottle conditioned. No fruit, just beer. And in a bottle no less. Set a new standard for me.

A nice looking beer that smells aromatic, but that tart bitter taste makes it a big disappointment.

Poured from can into teku, good 1+ finger head of soapy white head recedes rather quickly, little to no retention, good carbonation. Somewhat hazy bright yellow in the glass. Lactic acid on the nose, lemon, citrus, pineapple and a slight funkiness. Taste is initially tart, lemon and pineapple, as it warms there is some peach that shows up. Finish is dry, acidity is low. Easy drinking for a wild ale.

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and some specks of bubbles on the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of sourness and oak are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of citrus from the hops - grapefruit and lime seem to stand out in particular.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied, dry, and tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really liked the oaky flavors in this beer, which particularly stood out and lingered into the finish.
Serving type: can

On draft at Tap & Grind. Golden yellow body, one finger white head. Short retention. No lacing. Smell is bright lemon, straw, touch of hay, light oak. Standard flavour, which is saison and a bit of oak, lemon, light hay. Not difficult to drink, in fact- quite refreshing. Lighter medium body, crisp and refreshing, fair bit of carbonation, nicely drinking on a hot day.
