750mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque dark golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued bourbon, with nice tart acidity and sour stone fruits. Flavour is quite yeasty, with lots of earthiness, tart stone fruits and high acidity. A bit too yeasty and acidic, but this is decent.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/18/2016. Pours lightly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange peel, green apple, cherry, berries, pear, white wine, oak, pepper, leather, hay, straw, lacto funk, wheat, bread, light vanilla/bourbon/white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tart/sour lemon, lime, orange peel, green apple, cherry, berries, pear, white wine, oak, pepper, leather, hay, straw, lacto funk, wheat, bread, light vanilla/bourbon/white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Good amount of fruity/lactic sourness and yeast/tannic oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of sour lemon, lime, orange peel, green apple, cherry, berries, pear, white wine, oak, pepper, leather, hay, straw, lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with a nice malt/sourness balance, and minimal astringent flavors after the finish; but fairly puckering. Very dry from acidic/tannic notes as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, acidic/tannic, and lightly grainy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an outstanding sour ale! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the high level of acidity/tannic barrel notes. A highly enjoyable offering.

Thank you mariuspoenari. 750 ml. bottle sampled @ Pre-Borefts Ratebeer Tasting 2016. Hazy orange, little bubbles. Nose is vinegar, glue, low apricot, puckering, acidic, harsh. Taste is low nail polish, acidic, flue, chemical, air plane glue, vinegar. Body is puckering acidic with glue. Decent but too harsh for its own good going towards notes of airplane glue & nail polish.
