Bottle, 7.8%, part of second round of Sin Frontera collab, bottled spring 2016. Color: Slightly hazy orange amber, dense and long lasting off-white head. Aroma: Tart and sweet, yeasty, fruity, funky, hay. Taste: Starting over moderate to medium tart, soon also light sweet and bitter. Hay, minerals, fruity notes of sour and also sweet apple, tart appleskin, citrus, lime. Subtle wild yeast funk, yeasty hints. Very subtle, slightly boozy Cognac notes and pretty strong oak wood and a lot of tannins. Dry mouthfeel. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Maybe a bit unbalanced but nice complexity. Good one.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy amber with an off-white head. Complex, funky aroma, both acetic and lactic acid combined with Brett. Medium body, a small, initial sweetness, but the acids come rushing in to create a massive sourness with tannins that can be felt on the teeth. Otherwise the barrel leaves an unclean, somewhat moldy imprint. Somewhat rough and uneven. 050319
