(on tap served in a Becher pint glass at Apothecary Ale House in Morgantown, WV... review copied from notes)
Cloudy, yellow-amber liquid; little foam... nutty yeast funk on the nose and palate (similar expression)... near nectary fruit-flavored dominance; vague orange rind; maybe subtle strawberry note in the finish... acidic, lambic-like funk cutting through the middle; pithy bitterness; more (dry) vinous as it goes; a lil smoke too??... overall relatively refreshing, if begging for more lightness, levity (2195)

Wanted to do something special for my 1000th review, so getting in both a new state and a really interesting sounding beer.
Slightly cloudy peach color, thin but dense white head, good retention,
Zesty citrus, a bit of peach, a little bit of spice and funk on the nose
BIG lactic tartness, peach, a little spice, a zip of orange and lemon zest flavor
Medium-light bodied, soft, appropriately carbonated
I really dig this. I'll have to stop by that place some other time to try some other stuff.
