This golden sour
wheat ale is
crafted in a large
oak barrel known
as a foeder. For
each batch, we
draw a portion of
beer from the
barrel and top it
up with freshly
brewed beer. The
mixed culture of
microbes in the
foeder ferments
the beer, creating
an incredibly
complex and
layered base. Every
batch of Incipient
we've brewed since
2018 contributes to
this ongoing
fermentation
process, adding
" complexity with
each addition of
beer.

Can. Electric red pour with a very minimal head. Aromas are weak - of Ocean Spray and feet (according to my drinking buddy Pedro.) Flavor is kind of a weak mix of sour and cranberry that finishes with a super tart punch at the end. This one is a disappointment.
