Tart Farmhouse ale conditioned with 300 lbs of perfectly ripe local strawberries. Blended with select barrels of wild golden ales (4-27 months aged) resulting in a refreshingly sour and complex ale bursting with berry character.

tap on 8/17/13 - Pours orange with no head and features a prominent brett smell. The flavor is dry with subdued berries. It has low carbonation, a light to medium body, and a slightly sweet, funky finish. Really good.

Bottle shared at Ma Che, Roma, 09/02/13, thanks originally to one of the PDX gang for gifting me this. Hazed mid amber with a thin white head that clears to a swirl. Nose is sour/tarte strawberries, light burnt fruit notes. Taste comprises soured strawberry milkshake, tarte strawberries, light sugar, yeast. Medium bodied with fine carbonation leading to a dry finish. You would not think this was much above 5% ABV let alone 8 ! Eminently drinkable sour - want more !!!

09/02/2013 375ml bottle (thanks Theydon_Bois!). Color pesca giallona (insolita per una sour ale alle fragole), torbida, schiuma assente. Al naso è fruttata, note citriche e di botte, molto pulita e delicata, di classe. In bocca è acida, fruttata, gentile, meravigliosamente bilanciata, gli 8 gradi alcoli ci non si sentono per niente. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Elegantissima e facile da bere.

Bottle shared by someone at work (PMR maybe?). Pours with a hazed yellow hued body with a small white head. Aromas are very fresh and vibrant strawberry, some medium funk, jammy, wet hay, light barrel. Flavors show some zingy acidity, good and jammy fruit, mild funk and some hay. What really hurts this beer is the lack of carbonation which kills any brightness that the fruit and acidity might have. Lacking "zip" with the lower carbonation and as a result, lower body. Good, but missing a little bit.

375mL bottle, pours a completely still cloudy orange with a tiny ring of white bubbles - makes me wonder why the hell this was capped and corked. Nose of oak barrels, fairly prominent soured strawberries, and a bit of fruity sweetness. Flavour is dominated by the oak barrels, with quite a puckering berry sourness, a hint of berry sweetness though dominated by the sourness, and a bit of funk, finishing on tart, complex oak notes. Whatever the deal is with the carbonation, this is pretty solid, though could perhaps use a livelier carbonation to bring out the complexities more. Great stuff.

Bottle shared by Rohit, thanks! Pours a hazy amber with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light tart strawberry note with some acid and a hint of creaminess. Flavor starts with tarts strawberries and is backed by a creamy grain note.
