Looks like qunce juice. Aroma is wild, horse blanket, spikey fruits, acidic juice lots of funk. Taste is sour fresh with sweet apple and quince and a heavy bitter body. Well balanced and super drinkable and super complex. Great stuff.

Cerveza color salmón, turbia, espuma débil de poca persistencia. Emana un aroma harto agradable con aire funky, notas de levadura, establo, granero, cuero, nectarina, kupela, algo de frutos rojos...En boca es ligeramente agria y seca, notas jugosas de nectarina, sanguina, ácido láctico, . Que rico final deja en boca

Bottle shared at the DCBeer February share. Poured a red-wine red color with a light purple hue. Aroma was light funk, with a lot of plum. Pleasant plum tartness.

On tap at Tilt, pours a hazy dark-ish orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with rustic saison yeast, light wild yeast, and some earthy oakiness more akin to a biere de garde. Flavour is tangy and sour in a way I wasn't expecting, but it seems appropriate - with rustic saison yeast, oak, earthiness, and tangy citrus. A bit of cardboard here. Tangy, citric, oaky finish. Good stuff, but can't shake the slightly oxidized feeling.

Taste comprises tangy damson jam, grass, funk, yeast esters, stoned fruits, berry skins, big old damson load. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid.
