Spontaneously fermented Inceptus (Latin for “beginning”) is a wild ale of remarkable complexity. Imbued with the brewery's own wild Georgia yeast strain and matured for months in North Georgia wine barrels, this American sour will make you pucker with delight.

2016 vintage, sampled late 2022.
Pours slightly hazed blonde, small white head. Scent is full, citric, US style acidic aroma's, but more on the fruity / oaky side, and thus more complex. Taste is Tart, bit butery, very oak-forward. Some citrus, as well as green treefruit (apple comes to mind). Bit thin though - and not much aftertaste. OK, but needs more intensity and length.

Smooth. Smells super sharp but is mellow with notes of peaches. Not super complex on the finish. Vinous
