Poured at Falling Rock after GABF at DrBill’s tasting, 3 different blends of the same brew poured by the brewer herself. The second one held nice funky notes to balance out the restrained tart notes. Aroma overall was a some nice funky barnyard notes with some grape, red fruit, toffee notes as well. Taste was a nice lactic sour with some nice funky barnyard notes to balance the sour, some sweet grape and red fruit also balance, but the sour comes back and keeps your mouth puckered.

On tap at Falling Rock, served by Lauren Salazar after the last session of GABF. Pours with a murky amber brown body with minimal head. All of the samples were of similar color. All showed red wine and oak notes with good acidity. Number 2 was much cleaner than the other two samples. Strong and somewhat clean lactic aroma with good oak notes. Flavors were oaky and vinous with a much cleaner lactic character than the other two. Much less acetic acid, and a bit less funk. Clean, but with less character than the other two.

(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of wood, earthiness, leather, and mustiness. Flavor of vinous, wood, balsamic vinegar, brett, and earthiness with a dry finish.
