Canned. Deep brown pour. Super tart and a yeasty funk that overpowered the rye malts.

Can. Hazy amber, small off-white head. Rye, tart fruit, oak, funk. Subtle bourbon notes, which is a big plus in my book (as opposed to overpowering bourbon). Good stuff.

16oz can from Halftime. Dark, clear amber, flat. Tart aroma, rye, wood. Taste reminds me of a Belgian Flanders, pit fruit, brett, rye adding some additional funk and the rye barrel bringing a boost to flavor and oomph factor. Very tart.

A clear dark reddish copper brown ale with a very thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with nice Brett, ground cherries, lactic acid, light rye, very nice and complex. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of ground cherries, lactic acid, light rye, smooth and complex. Can.

Can 1 pint. Pours a cloudy amber with a tiny, rough head. Super funky aroma, lots of wood as well but it’s the Flamish Red notes that really dominate this beer, yet some sweet vanilla and wood notes creep in almost changing the main note from sour to sweet - almost. Incredibly delicious and complex. 160317
