Draft pour at the Pine Box. Pours a clear copper color with very little head. I love the beers with a small story to it. Reading that this was aged for about 800 days. Crazy! I hadnt even started drinking beer when this was in the barrel aging. Definitely makes this beer unique to me. Flavor has a sour green apple like flavor with a heavy lingering sour taste. Really nice sour. Enjoyed this.

GABF 2013. Pours a hazy golden yellow appearance with a white head. Holy shit, this mofo has a bunch of funky cheese, cobweb, and basement aromas. Lemon, lactic, vanilla, hay, straw, wheat, moderately sour flavor with a bit dry finish. Fucken cool beer. You can’t fake the funk, bro.

Sampled from the tap at 2011 FOBAB. Poured a near clear gold with a slight amber hue and a white head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma had a good amount of funk and a surprisingly sweet note of tropical/light fruits. Flavor had a good amount of acid that cut the sweetness with some dry wine and funk that finished out the beer. After taste was a bit odd, but cannot put my tongue on it.
