This NW style sour ale is a strong blond ale aged in chardonnay barrels for up to 12 months, then aged with dried white figs and lemon peel or up to 12 more months. Aromas of sweet figs, golden raisins, and citrus zest are the first to be noticed. Hints of white wine grapes, lemon peel, and sweet figs roll across the palate, leading to a crisp lemon tartness in the finish that leaves a lingering sweetness on the tongue.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666 and allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy amber with a nice creamy head. Nose - like fine white burgundy. Cheese rind and funk. Taste - tangy lemon, then stewed apple. Gooseberry even. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - tonnes going on.

At BBF, clear deep yellow color, fruity, skunky, medicinal and minerals aroma, fruity minerals flavor, piercing sourness with a light balancing sweetness. Good sour, no distinct fig character.
