Growler filled 2/13/16 and drunk 2/20/16, shared by blisscent.
Small but wispy off-white head atop a hazy amber body.
Thyme, mint and moderate lactic acid in the nose are quite complementary. Not much wine barrel influence and no alcohol, with lots of grassiness, spiciness and clean belgian esters.
A bit more sourness in the flavor, with light acetic notes but primarily soft lactic acids. Lemon-thyme-like notes are soft and well-done, with ample carbonation and a good attenuation. Not intensely sour. Baladin is a good brewer and the zin barrel treatment has not changed that.

750 ml growler from Blisscent, thanks Nelson! Dirty orange color with very little head. Pretty decent fruity elements. Pineapple, rotten peaches and a hint of white grapes.

The sourness is deep but the acid is lower then say... Trillium Blackberry Soak. The acid is way lower so it kind of is easier to drink if you really like bold sourness. Lightly sharp sourness.

Very cloudy it’s a burnt orange appearance. no head from Nelson’s 75CL Glasses. Smells really good. A lot of nectarine and grapefruit and even some banana and other herbal notes. Juicy. Very tart, whoa, vinegar burn throughout even in the finish there’s a little bit of butter here. it is quite impressive. there’s a sharp lactic acid presence.
