What was formerly Outlawed has been pirated! McCaw’s secret booty was laid back late last summer in retired Dry Comal Creek wood. The cache stashed, the Outlaw dashed out and the Bandito cashed in with a deliciously dry, slightly sour red ale still with a malt backbone, wisps of brush honey and the unmitigated funk of a Texas Wild Ale.

On tap at Freetail. Pours a dark orange with small off white head. The aroma is strong oak and dark fruit. Thin mouth, oak, cherry skin, vanilla, lingering dry finish, very good.

Bottle shared during the Grand Tasting of RBWG 2015. Pours mostly clear amber-gold with a creamy tan head. Moderately acetic, with notes of tangy berries, moist wood and rindy orange. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Tangy finish with more acetic bite, light salty sweat, tart berries, light alcohol bump. Nice overall.

Bottle thanks to Dallas. Cool label. Pours a copper color with a large white head. The aroma is sour cherry, tart acidic. A very nice lambic-like flavor which is at times very sour, some dark cherries, woody, quite dry. Very good and well crafted
