Golden sour ale conditioned in French oak with bretts b & l. This refreshingly tart farmhouse-style ale exhibits delicious notes of honey, vanilla and chamomile in a dry, crisp body.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with no head — this one's flat. Nose is loaded with honey, a little chamomile, and maybe a touch of farmhouse notes. Flavour is almost like kombucha, with honey, chamomile, and moderate acidity that ends up coming out more harshly because the carbonation is totally flat. This doesn't seem like it was intended. The flatness of this doesn't lend well to the body. Not a disaster, but this is definitely subpar.

Pours without a head, the body is a dull palish colour. I mean on one hand it doesn't look good but on the other hand it looks like unblended lambic. The aroma is floral and buggy. On the palate, a light bugginess, again floral, there's a nice sweet note as it they put honey into this beer, but it says it was bottled in July and hasn't carbonated so that can't be what happened. I like that aspect of the beer, as it makes for a final product that's soft, rounded and still carries a decent amount of complexity.
