Tap at the Barrel Cellar - I am not a fan of the regular Surette Reserva at all, so this one really surprised me - the blending of the kombucha really smooths out the rough edges and eliminates the more unpleasant aspects of the beer - the aroma, especially, is much improved - the tea adds a soft herbal note and a light sweetness that balances the mild funkiness and earthy notes - the flavor is moderately acidic, as opposed to the more in-your-face acidity of the original - light sweetness, mild grape character - like the aroma, the tea adds a light herbal note - interesting and pretty tasty.

Tap @ Crooked Stave. Pours a murky, purplish brown appearance with not much head. Concord grape, a bit juicy, lemon meringue, tart bretty, a bit funky aroma. A bit chewy, grape juicy, citrusy, somewhat earthy, lemon flavor. Kind of a cool take.
