22 oz bottle, no scribbled date, poured into Crane snifter.
9.5% ABV scribbled on the side. Seems to be pretty limited.

Pours a brownish-black with a lasting beige head of 1 finger.

Aroma is very weird. I get an amalgamation of fermented dark fruits, black and red currants, boysenberry, wild yeast, and tobacco, leading into smoke, then following into a strangely accurate aroma of a McDonalds hamburger with tons of ketchup. Like, as a kid. It's really uncanny.

Flavor thankfully does not follow verbatim; it brings sour blueberries and sour boysenberries, smoke/tobacco, some grape sucker, a bit of old barrel, some green apple sucker, and a general wild yeast flavor.

Feel is appropriate for a wild sour. It's lactic and biting, acidic, the proper amount of carbonation, with some good heat rising up on the back palate.

Overall, a bit too weird for me. Not undrinkable, but it's ultimately a curious beer. Hard to pin down. Probably not to be repeated by the brewery.

Price paid : Trade
Would trade for again : nah
