COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is an intensely sour brew. Aged in wine barrels for up to 2 years, then heavily dry hopped with the unique flavors of all NZ hops. This is a very complex and super sour brew that was a massive hit for 8 Wired at GABS Auckland. A good amount of expletives were shared over its super sourness and heady, oily resin and heavy funk characteristics. A must try for the sour lover!

EvNa (4758) - Ede, NETHERLANDS - JAN 25, 2020
UPDATED: JAN 25, 2020 Bottle, 2016. Color: In between golden and amber, bit hazy, white head. Aroma: Tart, grapes, Brett funk. Taste: Light to moderate sweet, tart and bitter, nicely balanced. Wheat malt. Fruity white grapes, tannins, some wood. White wine notes. Combined with leathery Brett funk. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Very nice complexity. A lot of flavours to explore in each sip. Very nice.

hopscotch (11919) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - APR 24, 2019
UPDATED: APR 26, 2019 Bottle (2016)... THIS BEER ROCKS!... Pours hazy and orange with golden highlights and a mid-sized, fizzy, white head. The aroma is a fruity, bright and juicy mélange of peach, sauvignon blanc, pineapple, lime, lemon and cantaloupe. Full-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor is tar, fruity and vinous - white wine, oak and a medley of juicy fruits. Finishes fruity, tangy and fairly dry. Super refreshing! WORLD-CLASS BEER!

heman (2841) - TYCHY, POLAND - NOV 17, 2018
Barwa złota, piwo lekko mętne, piana biała. Mieszanka wyraźniej dzikości (skóra, stajnia, wioska) i pulpy owoców tropikalnych i cytrusowych. Orzeźwiające i lekko kwaśne w smaku.
