750 ml bottle purchased at Joy in Denver, Colorado. The pour is a lightly hazed golden, with almost no head. What exists is white. The aroma is sweet malt, lemon citrus, oak, and a buttery character. The taste is the buttery character up front, hard to tell is this is diacetyl or the oak, more woodiness, a bit of lemon funkiness, and finishing with an herbal sweet malt sourness. The palate is medium bodied, lower level of carbonation, and the buttery finish. Not sure if this was a perfect bottle or not.

Bottle @ Brad’s house Minneapolis. Pours a cloudy, bright yellow orange appearance with an almost non-existent head. Fairly tart, lemon zesty, light banana, vanilla, juicy, somewhat funky, light barnyard aroma. Intense richly tart lemon, lightly oaky, moderately acetic, very tangy, light stone fruit (peach/apricot), moderate coconut flavor with a dry, quite tart flavor. Low carbonation. Pretty tasty but I didn’t enjoy this as much as some of the Reserve Society releases.

Tap at the barrel cellar - fizzy, turbid peach-colored - nose is musky pineapple and horse blanket Brett, moldy peach skins, a bit of mildew - flavor is moderate to high acidity/sourness, mostly of the lactic variety, but also a bit of malic and acetic sourness as well - a mellow peach sweetness and some mild Brett funk settle in late and the sourness fades - a bit of white grape character - hints of oak on the tail end, with lingering, drying acid - tastes like a much more sour version of the petite sour - the acidity is a little high, washing out the other subtleties and it is hard to get past the mold/mildew note in the nose.
