Bottle compliments of Jean, pours hazy golden with light head, notes of wood, grapes, funk, sweet tarts, berries, tart fruits, citrus, buttery french oak, lactic acid, and more blonde funk. Wow, huge thanks for the sample, this was butthole puckery blanket. Awesome.

Pours a hazy orange gold with no head. Aroma of funk, citrus and lacto. Taste is tart, white wine, oak and a funky finish. Carbonation is minimal but it seems to work with this beer. This is wonderful. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared at Chris’ pad. Tart and sour lemon aromas. Clear yellow pour with a white head. Tart citrus and muted vinous notes. Slightly acidic with good body and mouthfeel. A little salty kinda like like sour patch kids.

Bottle through trade HUGE thanks! Pour has a deep golden color wit a light fizzle of white foam on the surface. Aroma has white wine grapes, barrel wood, grape skins, light fruit sweetness, and light acidity. Mouth feel is medium and the carbonation on the low side. Flavor has big white grape, dry grape skin, light barrel wood, and medium tartness.

Awesome sour again from crooked stave. Reminds me a bit of Cuvee de Castleton. Great vinous barrel and citrus notes with a great base sour golden with grapefruity tartness. As it warms the acidity ramps up a bit too much but still great.

Lukaduke (1013) - Portland, Maine, USA - JAN 22, 2013
Bottle thanks to adnielsen ! Pours a deep golden color with a finger of fizzy foam that laces and dissipates quickly. The nose is ripe vinous fruit, sourdough bread, dusty funk, and some rustic barrel notes. The palate is complex and very balanced. Im loving this beer ! Great acidity and fruit... peach, apricot, pineapple, vanilla and some funky wet wood to keep it interesting. Nice clean finish with lingering vinous fruit.

THE Fruit Sour tasting. Thanks to Jack for this rare one! Hazy gold beer. No head. Palate is crisp and dry. Pronounced milky sweetness. Apricot and peach sour fruits contrast. A little odd but pretty drinkable.
