Growler filled 3/18/16 and drunk 3/26/16, shared by blisscent.
Large white head immediately fades to a ring atop a moderately hazy, white-golden body.
Plentiful acids in the nose, with lots of odd funk. Very basement-like with moderate amounts of both acetic and lactic acids. Wine notes contribute very bright acid character, but perhaps too much intensity? Alcohol nor flaw apparent.
In the week this has been in the growler, it has fallen off a bit, developing a touch of butter even, while losing some of the tight carbonation that helped it out. Not sure why that is. Very cheesey-funky with lots of basement character and a slight metallic tinge. Rating is based on the draft sample I had on 3/18 at the brewery, though I don’t think the growler was all that bad, just hadn’t held up. Fair amount of wine and oakiness, with tons of funk, moderate sourness and no alcohol.

Bottle thanks to Blisscent. Color is a hazy gold, thin fast dying head. Aroma is Sweat, vinegar, bad body odor, funky yeast, bad funk.
Sweat mixed with vinegar and dirty socks. The flavor is SOOO bad. Fuck that is bad. The yeast is nasty. Drain pour, can’t do it. Still yet another awful American wild/ sour ale. I have to drink water, scrape my tongue and drink an IPA after this one.

I see it says draft in the notes, hmmm...well no worries, when I’m done this review, I’ll upload the pic of the can as this is now canned.
Here’s the rest.
Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a soft hazy burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head. Dissipation was immediate.
The smell started off with sour green apple running over top of light funk. Subtle sweet apple rides in underneath.
The taste was mainly sour with subtle graces of the sweet apple underneath. Definitely has a big sour apple aftertaste riding into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a slight sessionable feel about it. Carbonation rides underneath. Bitter sharp harshness really hits my tongue very dry.
Overall, saison, hmmm...probably more of an American Wild Ale, but then again, I tend to think that of a lot of Hermit Thrush’s beers as I can’t see them getting out of their \"normal\" groove of trying something other than the \"sour\" style. Still, it’s good for the most part.
