UPDATED: DEC 31, 2022 750ml bottle. Tart, slightly funky and sour with some vinous oaky notes, fruits and hints of yeastiness. Pretty refreshing and nicely balanced

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2022 Vintage 2020. Bottle from a friend. Hazy yellow color, white head. Sour taste with citrus, chardonnay, tart, earthy notes, ripe fruits and wheat. Sour finish with citrus, tart, chardonnay, oak, earthy notes, ripe fruits and grass. Excellent sour ale.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2022 750mL 2019 vintage, drunk 8/20/22. Good clarity in this blonde-to-light-amber beer with a small, white head showing moderate retention. Pretty straightforward mix of lactic-acetic acid with fruity brett, cherry, caramel-to-honey-like malt. Fruity, tart, clean, maybe a bit maltier than I'd like, with still somewhat aggressive acidity. For three years old I'd expect more mildness from the cultures. Still, it's fine, no problems. In the mouth it's richly, thickly wheaty with tart acidity leading to sweet cherry, light caramel, moderate vanilla and fruity, cherry-heavy brett notes. Malty, medium-full body, a bit aggressive/unrefined acidity and strong barrel tannin, though no remnants of the Chardonnay. Clean and no alcohol, but honestly quite pedestrian. Not exactly a hot take, but I'm sure this would be about .5 points lower if it didn't have the Side Project name. Maybe in 5 years this will be better? Would certainly happily test that theory.
