GABF 2013. Pours a lightly cloudy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Huge fucken cheesy, vanilla, very funky, oak aroma with a touch of pear and white grape. Lightly tart, cobweb, tangy lemon lactic, cheesy, pineapple flavor with just a bit of lasting acidity. One of my favorites of GABF and damn near as good as Colorambic, which is quite similar in flavor and complexity. Chill brew.

Sample at the 2013 GABF. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Brett nose. Sour apple flavors. Some metallic notes. Crisp tart finish.
