Draught at Lower Depths, 1/14/16.
Heavy haziness, but not soupy. A deep golden-bronze color with a white head that fades steadily to a ring.
The nose shows biscuits, a touch of mustiness, lemon-lime citrus character and lightly acidic brett notes that play very nicely with the rest of the beer. I get little/no oak character and wouldn’t guess this to be oak-aged from the nose. Which is fine. Very balanced and mild, but not weak, importantly. With further warming, a distinct sulfur note emerges and I’m extremely delighted. It’s not heavy at all, but just gives that rustic, lambic-like quality that I can never get enough of. Kind of cool that it wasn’t apparent right away, but took some time to develop.
Flavor is moderately tart, with some mild oak tannin on the finish and moderate acidity. Tight carbonation and dextrinous but well-attenuated malts provide plenty of texture and balance to the acids/tannins. Citrus and light floral notes are noted, but are quite reserved as well. No flaws, no alcohol. Extremely drinkable and all-around well-done.
