Undated bottle drunk 6/27/22. Lightly hazy, drab brass-golden. Small, white head. Moderate-to-low retention. Very tart nose with light acetic next to lots of lactic acid. Finally softening with sweet, nutty, lightly tart sorghum and light corn notes. Hints of vanilla and strong fruit ester with no alcohol or flaw. Big burst of acetic and lactic acidity up front, softening from massively softly textured sorghum and corn with lightly-to-moderately sweet sugars and the tell tale tart cherry of the sorghum. Really interesting beer and it's nice to see all of these different grains. Not sure it need the cane juice though, as it's pushing it on the sweetness. Or maybe just needed stronger attenuation all around. Still, interesting and drinkable with tons of flavor and complexity.

Draft at Fonta Flora in Morganton. Pours a clearish straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lovely aromas of corn, grain and mineral on the nose. Palate is similar with a touch of sweetness from the corn. More mineral notes, scratchy carbonation and yeast. Very drinkable table beer brewed with local ingredients.

Bottle from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a transient white head. Aroma of lemon and rye. Med body. Lightly tart. Flavor is lemon, rye, and arguably something lacto/pedio - definitely not Brett. Clean tho, and drinks nicely.
