On tap at PIB 2016, pours a clear pale yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lovely brett funk upfront, with light citrus zest and dry oakiness. Flavour is puckeringly tart, with tons of lychee and citrusy sourness. Extremely puckering, dry and sour. Not overly complex. A little underwhelming, but it's solid.

Wait a minute, this beer marks my 100th Sour/Wild Ale rating. How did that happen? On tap at Drake’s Barrel House pouring up clear deep gold with nice white head. The aroma is big bruising soured citrus and lemon notes and then seemingly rimmed with a sense of tart wine grapes. The taste starts tart then turns toward soured citrus and then running up into full up tartness. Behind those notes are murmurs of tart wine tannins. I’m digging this as it is big and tart but has some depth going on too with various soured and near molding citrus like notes.
