6.6/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
The Aromas are lemon, tart Funk, and a hint Floral. The flavors are similar to Nose, tart and dry with floral coming out a little bit more. Good carbonation and body with a tart finish. Too sour for me.

Hazy golden coloured body with a very nice, one centimetre tall, relatively thin, pure white head. Aroma of soured grapes, light hay, flowers, a dash of oak, some bread, yeast and a lot of spontaneously fermented wild notes with a touch of apples and spiced pear sweetness towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong funky yeast and soured apple and grape flavours dominate with a lot of wheat and coriander seed freshness, coupled with a softer, dry grassy and herbal finish and some sweetness from the fruits at the end. Aftertaste is dry, floral, herbal and showing a sign of the spontaneously fermented yeasts and wild nature of this, but ends up being more sweet and soured from the fruits than anything else. Overall, a decent and slightly funky beer that is somewhere in between a true berliner weisse and a spontaneously fermented, wild ale, akin to a true belgian lambic/gueuze, but this is really far away from both of those - it's in an odd class of it's own. I sampled this 37,5 cL bottle purchased from Smith's Liqour Gallery in Rapid City, South Dakota on 25-June-2020 for US$7,49 sampled on the last evening of my trip out here in my hotel room here in Rapid City, South Dakota on 01-July-2020.

Sampled from the bottle at Winterfest 2020. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has an oaky and sour pineapple note with some earthy wheat and lemon backing. Flavor has sour pineapple, hint of lemon and an earthy wheat backbone.
