Space Tiger!

8.5oz bottle c/o Ryan. Thanks! Quite a funky aroma, Big leathery brett tones sort of taken in strange directions by the hops. Drinks big for the ABV, sort of a deep alcohol soaked grape flavor. Unique, leans into the brett a lot.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a glossy burnt orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that quickly dissipated to leave barely any lace.
The aroma had some peppercorns, wheat, lemon pulp, barnyard and basement funk, light peach and some grassy hops.
The flavor started sweet and then popped a little bit of zest, light spice and a balancing vinous sour. Funky barnyard and basement mustiness permeates dryly on my taste buds to meld into the aftertaste and slide into the finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a fair crisp sessionable sort of sour feel rolling along my tongue. Decent carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty nice sour ale well worthy of having again, but I think my buddy paid over $25 for this beast when it wasn’t that much of a beast by ABV. Not sure if I would have again due to the price.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a cloudy gold with large frothy white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is strong funk, mineral, oak, lemon zest. Medium body, funk, lemon, yeast, wood, dry finish, decent.

Bottle pour at Churchkey for the Night of the Living Ales event. Poured a hazy golden amber color with an off-white head. Aroma was light funky notes. Light funky lemon, with some light dusty character to it. Mild bretty funk notes, with a touch of light citrus.

Bottle at Churchkey into a snifter showing hazy orange with no head. The nose shows dusty green pepper and leafy vegetal notes. The palate is not carbonated and medium bodied. Lightly subtle tartness with barely perceivable fruit mid-palate and a white wine bitterness. Wow, this was not pleasant.
