375ml bottle. Best before 04.03.2028. Bought it at Jubilation in Albuquerque yesterday.
Pours a brassy amber color, maybe a bit darker than that, smallish head and not a lot of carbonation. Head is quite dense, settles around two or three millimeters. Smell is kind of tart -- lots of carbonation, Lots of wood. Lemon, lemon rind.
Taste is quite tart and woody, bright lemon. There's a lot going on, but it's hard to describe. It fits more into sour beer territory than most ales. Lots of oxidation but not unpleasant. Grain, old hay.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, fairly still. Interesting and good, but not sure exactly what to compare it to.
