Bottle @ Steve’s house. Thanks to brokensail for sending. Pours a reddish orange appearance with a thin off white head. Orange citrus, spicy veggie, twangy aroma. Twangy, pineapple, orange citrus, chewy malty flavor. Some oak and tannins. Twangy. Ehhh.

Sampler at brewpub. Nothing said this was barrel aged but this is where I have to rate it. This was the beer I liked best from the sampler. Orange-amber clear color. Lightly sticky lacing. Aroma is moderate fruitiness but not astringent, beer feels thick on the nose. Pretty neutral after that, which is good and means nothing bad. Flavor is appropriately sweet for the style, fruity yeast character, low bitterness, some neutral-fruity hops breaking through. Surprisingly lighter on the palate than anticipated. Not amazing but good.

5th Annual MBG Winter Beer Festival, Grand Rapids. Murky orange-brown body, medium off-white head. Sour, lactic nose with balsamic vinaigrette, wet hay, and tropical fruit. Wonderful. Complex, delicious body with sour, puckering lemon, balsamic vinaigrette, grassy, wet hay and tropical fruit (pineapple, banana), with a tart finish. This was the standout of the show, an exemplary sour beer. Thankfully, I was able to acquire one sample; alas, I was unable to secure another, and my fossil longing is stored here, on Ratebeer, for digital eternity.
