3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at Dry Dock - turbid gold - headless - when cold, the beer was quite pleasant - quite a bit of funkiness, oak, a lot of white wine character, apricot and other tropical flavors - however, as the beer warmed, all I could taste was acid - mostly tart lactic acid, but also a fairly significant acetic punch - the other qualities were there, but the acids overpowered them - no nuance, just sourness - so, enjoyable at first, but once it got even remotely warm, I found it hard to finish the glass.

(Draught) clearish medium yellow, ring of one white bubbles. Nose of cranberry, tart, bit funky/chalky, stone fruit, honey, fresh, tart and delicious. Taste of peach, tart, acetone and off flavors really kept in check, kiwi, delicious sour beer.
