Aromas are Brett, wet grain, pale malt and a bit of dill. Flavors are similar to nose, dill comes out more. Hints of oak and cucumber. Great balance between sweet bitter and tart and leans tart. Kind of a dill pickle beer without the salty brine. Works very well. Great idea well executed!

Canned 10/3/23, drunk 9/23/24. Clear, blonde-brass-golden. Medium-sized, white head quickly to cover. Moderate, almost juicy oak bursts forth from the can with a touch of spicy dill and pickle character on the very end. Excellent, sulfury minerality. The dill-like character works its way more in to the nose and I appreciate that it's the dill character and not just some salty vinegar note. Dill seems just as interesting a spice to use in a sour as any other. Doesn't feel novel or silly. Lean, well-structured malts add biscuit and seem nicely attenuated. Big oak character recedes quickly. Bright and floral with deep malts yielding big honey and white bread. Oak structure keeps it mostly balanced, alongside the acidity and spicy dill character. Rich and flavorful, pretty well balanced, though could perhaps be a shade more dry. I like their culture, though it produces light acetic which can be a bit much at times. Very unique and well-done for a challenging ingredient.
