4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Poured a yellow color ale with an average pure white foamy head with some retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of Brett and oak notes with some barnyard funky notes. Taste is also dominated by some Brett notes with distinctive notes of barnyard and funk. Oak is also present but no vinous notes could be detected. Full body with good carbonation. Very well done and easily drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bright fresh tart aroma, some wood, very lively and inviting. Pale gold, sparse white head, little lacing. Peach, orange, and grapefruit character, though while none of the flavors really jump out or rise and fall as I would like, the married flavors are very tasty and I’m drinking a lot more of this. Lemon rind finish.

Super cool. Bottle from Greens Ponce de Leon. Cool sour aroma. Some apple in the aroma. Small head, some carbonation. Sour. Woody. Subtle oxidation. Easy to drink. It’s funny. I notice this aroma and flavor in some bad barleywines and RISs, where it is bad. Here it is stronger and tasted good. I like it. Medium drinkability. Plus another sour rating!

Bottle: Poured a clear golden with a white head. Aroma is sour and woodsy. Taste is a bit sour at first with a grainy wood finish.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Reminded me somewhat of Rodenbach Grand Cru - no hops, oaky sourness. Not my cup of tea, but a decent attempt at the style.
