Rosemary, caramel malt, and orange peel aroma. Amber with small head. Mildly sweet rosemary, caramel malt, mildly sour citric acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Pleasant - nice use of rosemary without going over the top.

Draught at GMan, 12/5/18. Deep, burnished copper-golden, light haze and an off-white head showing moderate retention. Moderate lactic acid mixing with other various funk and cereal grains behind it. Light on the rosemary, but it's there and adds a good deal of complexity and helps diversify the otherwise straightforward lactic character. Light honey-caramel and no alcohol or flaw. Soft and malty, very tart with lemon, yogurt, light lactic acidity, plentiful biscuit, cereal and honey notes from the malt. It's well balanced, engagingly carbonated, well attenuated but I much prefer the non-soured version. I think the mixed culture definitely detracts or at least obscures the rosemary and other adjunct character that is so charming in the original.
