On tap at Rackhouse. Listed at 4.5% ABV. Seems quite a bit different than the regular sour wit. Pours with a hazed yellow body with a small white head. Super strong spicy oak aromas with notes of chardonnay and fruit. Mostly oak in the aroma. Flavors are extremely tannin forward, tannic, fruity, estery, spicy. Lightly lactic. Mild funk. Lively bubbles, dry and tannic. This beer is all about the wood.

On tap at Rackhouse rare beer tasting 2011, pour was hazy straw yellow with white head. Described as inoculated with a bit of brett. Aroma had notes of fruity esters, hint of spice, grape, touch of funk but more lemony, oak in there as well. Taste was nice and balanced, sweet lemon, tropical fruit notes went into some slight funk, dry oak, with a hint of biscuit finishing nice and dry. Not really sour, but the brett and oak added a nice component.
