4 oz. draft sample at York River Landing. Almost clear gold. Aroma is so subtle; oak, lactic acid, and lemon. Flavor is a direct reflection of the aroma. Refreshing on a warm fall afternoon!

On tap at Oxbow, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out wild yeast and some funky notes. Flavour is quite tart, with sour citrus notes, light funk and wild critters. Not so well-balanced - it's rather abrasive and lacking cohesion. Okay.
