Sampled at Borefts Pre-Tasting 2019. Golden color, small white head. Aroma is sour, barnyard, horse blanket. Flavor is again sourish but less than I had expected, tart might be a better description, yellow color, less dry than I had expected. Quite good.

The least interesting of the Mills beers at the festival, but still damn good. Very gentle and easy, and nicely refreshing. Lightly sour, lots of oak. Some sweet fruit (dried apple, apricot) and a hint of funk. No running.

Pretty good for non-lambic lambic sour. Nicely funky and acidic, in the blind tasting i would guess it is lambic really.
