Warp refers to the threads that run north-south in fabric, while Weft refers to the threads that run east-west. They are woven together to create cloth, something altogether greater than the sum of its parts.
Last year's version was a berliner weisse aged for 3 months in tequila barrels. This year's version is a mixed fermentation that utilized lactic acid bacteria and sacchromyces, in addition to several strains of brettanomyces, and was then aged for 12 months in tequila barrels.
What it smells and tastes like: Sour, citrusy, and taking on all the complex flavours of tequila without the harsh alcohol heat, this intense beer is strangely like a margarita. Subtle flavours of aloe, grapefruit, lime juice, agave, and salt vie for a background role.

Cloudy dull blond color with no head. The aroma is dusty and fruity, with some tequila note. Lean mouthfeel, the agave and tequila dominates, there is some bread note, light fruits, very light sourness.
Pleasant.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma screams out tequila, with not much else - surprisingly nice. Flavour brings out citrus notes, lots of tequila without being offensive, and tanginess. Finishes on notes of tequila and citrus tang. Solid stuff, but I prefer the chardonnay barrel aged version.

6% Berliner Weisse. A blonde Weisse with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet tropical fruits salad, tequila alcohol, a bit cloying. In mouth, a puckering sour ale with loads of lactic acid, tropical fruits, very nice. Bottle tasted at Spinrsx tasting.
