Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a ruddy brown color with an ever so sly film of a white head. Stringy lace quickly slides.
The aroma starts off with the sour to semi-sweet apple vinegar normally associated with their beers. Some faint rye underneath.
The flavor leans puckering sour with a sparkle of the dry woodiness. Green apple sour aftertaste and quick sour dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Mild carbonation. Very puckering sour exacting some tart dry woody feels along my tongue.
Overall, as a sour ale it works for itβs simplicity but fans of rye barrel beers are probably going to be disappointed.
