Bomber shared by AdamC on 7/8/17.
Clear, auburn-mahogany body topped by a small beige head showing no retention.
Acetic acid is most prominent, and has a strong balsamic-like edge to it. Light lactic notes in the background continue the sour trend as big purple and red fruits sit on the end, alongside a big dose of caramel. Not much integration here at all and the beer smells limp/heavy/dull with way too much acetic acid dominance.
Fig, dates and a strong sweet-and-sour mix of caramel and balsamic vinegar. Heavily syrupy and underfermented through the middle leading to a finish full of vinegar, vanilla and twangy/tangy fruits. Terrible.

22 oz. bottle shared by AdamChandler. Dark shitty brown in color. Aroma is very similar To a sour red/brown. Oh wow, it s a sour red! Ha ha ha vinegar, oak, smelly gym socks.
Dark fruit, old dirty socks, and a lot of funky malt. Intense and sour and dirty, no. I just hate this style in general.
