Bottle. Pours crystal clear pale yellow, medium off-white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is oak, brett and stonefruit. Flavor is dry, light tart light funky, oaky, Brett mustiness, stonefruit, lemon. Light body. Soft carbonation. This beer must have varied a lot, cause I really enjoyed it but the reviews indicate that others did not.

Bottle on RBSG bus. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is funk, oak, grape. Thin body, grape, oak, funk, light tartness, good.

Draught at EBF, 2/5/16.
Hard to find much info about this beer. Kent Falls either talks a lot about their beers or you can barely find any info whatsoever on them. Unfortunately this is the latter. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that this is the base beer to the Second Nature fruited sour series. Anyhow, it pours a light golden-blonde, somewhat hazy, with a rapidly disappearing white head.
I do get the light vegetal notes and some strong oak character. Heavily woody and quite funky, though I’m not sure my biggest problem is with the particular flavor notes (didn’t find a lot of the flaws others comment on here). What was a little disappointing was the lack of much flavor at all. As well, it’s quite thin and overly dry/husky. Tart brett acids, light aceto-lactic character and musty funk, heavily oily woodiness and vanilla character all make for a strange experience. Possibly an old batch that they let sit or that wasn’t deemed good enough for Second Nature? Whatever the case, it does seem tired and old and the beer itself doesn’t seem nearly big enough to hold all of this wood and funk.
