This was poured into a tulip. I always feel more comfortable pouring my sours into tulips, okay, all is right in the world after all.
The appearance was semi-murky to light blonde color with a foamy white head dieing off at a decent pace. Sly messy lace.
The aroma had some dried wood/oak tannins, nice sweet to sour funk, sweet vinous quality, some apple cider vinegar, little bit of citrus rind, and ends with a nice tart.
The flavor leads full throttle with the sour to the funky to tart quality over coating a nice refined sweet vinous quality about it. Apple cider vinegar was slightly there. Aftertaste is full of the oak and sour funkiness.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sour abrasiveness but dropped a bit by the oakiness. ABV felt good.
Overall, pretty nice sour ale and worthy of having again.
