Bottle shared by Lizzie & Daren, thanks! Pours a slightly hazy light orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sour light fruits with a hint of oak and a decent amount of sour lemon and light fruits with light funk and an oak backbone.

Bottle. The colour is hazy dark orange with a big off-white head. Aroma of rowanberries, oak, barn yard, vinegar and some apricots. The flavour mirrors the aroma. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Well balanced, sweet and sour.

Sample at Urban Artifact during The Extinction Event: Natural Wine & Spontaneous Beer Fest on 09/28/2019, as The Beer Formerly Known As La Tache. This beer pours a clear pale golden color with a medium frothy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of citrus, yeast, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart lemon, funky wheat, hops and biscuit malt. The finish is tart and funky with a lemony aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
