$10 discounted bottle from Grapevine Beer. Wine glass @the lodge. Frothy, thin splatter. Dulled out but clear deep gold pour. Nose is cultured sour notes, veg, dried strawberries & powdered sugar. Taste is a soft & bittersweet balsamic vinegar sour with green/unripe sour strawberries & some barrel pith. Would have preferred more fruit. Okay to good.

Aromas are an interesting blend of fresh ripe strawberries and funk. Flavors losses most of the strawberry and ends up being funky tarte beer with very little sweet to balance. Kind of a disappointment considering its score.

On tap at Firestone Walker, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with fresh, gently tart cherries, with a little acidity, and some wild funkiness. Flavour follows accordingly, bringing out a huge strawberry character, with light acidity, light tartness, and some jamminess. That strawberry is expressed beautifully. Really good.

375 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent copper with a creamy white head. Aroma is very fresh strawberry with mild sourish notes. Approaching medium body. Flavor is firmly strawberry, and it's dry with moderate sourness. Some rather fresh wood provides astringency. At least there's no mustiness. Acidity is present, but quite tolerable. Nice sour. Good result for strawberries!

Bottle shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a hazy earthy amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light strawberry and sour fruits with oak notes supporting. Flavor has a nice sour strawberry with a light acid and a bit of oak underlying.

Bottle. Huge fruity strawberry nose, yogurt, wood, funky. Cloudy copper color with lace. Very sour, huge acidity, strawberry, funk. Rather abusively sour but very tasty and they have managed to convey the strawberry flavor quite well.

At a tasting, many thanks, small stable creamy bubbly head, cloudy deep intense orangecolor, strong aroma of strawberries, spiciness, barrel woodiness and just a whiff of something smokey and charred, strong mellow lactic sourness. Very good and highly interesting.
