Ffunky sour aroma on lid lift. Olfactory goes mildly sweeter in glass. Looks like hefe, even gunk on the bottom of bottle. Quite sparkly on the palate and a sour like sizzle greets the tongue. I don’t think this qualifies as a blonde, its more funky er sumthin. Interesting turning into fun. Difficult to find any bitterness. Almost seems to be some orange in there. Fruity and nutty finish fer sure. Liked it. Unique, friendly and easy to like.

bottle - Okay, enough raters mention the sour and/or funky flavors in this one that I’m going to go ahead and rate it. I t hought they had a major infection problem with their bottling, but their website indicates that all beers are made in open fermentors. Pours murky copper-brown with minimal head. The aroma is spicy malt and sourness. I guess it’s supposed to taste sour too given the open fermentation, but for this beer it just comes off as infected in a bad way. The result is too thin and otherwise lacking in flavor as though what could have been some good flavors have been devoured by the beasties. There’s some malt and spice in there, but it’s not working for me at all.

Bottle. Pours an ominous dark brown with almost no head or carbonation and aromas of leather, landfill and soy. Flavor is all wrong... sour nasty with little redeeming. Something is seriously wrong with these guys... I’d say it’s intentional, but this spoiled beer thing isn’t good, so I doubt it.

Bottle. Pours a hazy copper with lots of carbonation on the side of the glass but little head. Aromas of dusty grains, caramel, grass, oranges and a little spiciness and sourness, but it is all very subdued and difficult to pinpoint exact smells. Flavor is interesting... a bit of a bread and caramel malt presence with a little twang to it and a lot more fruit than I would have guessed... kind of peaches and oranges or something. It wanders a bit... at times it seems like it will be more funky and tart and at times it seems like it will be a fruitbowl of sweetness. This is interesting, but not spectacular.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - very hazy gold, with a lasting, frothy head - smells and tastes like not much of anything, just very yeasty, with a tangy, wheaty tartness - hard to tell if it’s intentionally tart or if it’s infected - bready finish - meh.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with loads of carbonation and a big, fluffy head. Aromas are kind of off at first, but get better as it sits for a minute. At first they were more bandaid-like than beer-like. Now they seem to have quite a bit of grass, spiciness and a little bit of lemony tartness. Flavor is sour grains with a bit of lemon and grass. I’m wondering what is going on with this as both bottles from Indigo Imp that I’ve tried have either been off or they are trying something that isn’t quite working.

Bottle. Pour is a dingy and dark amber/brown with a very large and dense frothy head. Aromas are thick with sweet caramel and toffee malts, spices and fruit. Flavor has a lot of brown sugar type malt with a fair amount of cinnamon and orange. Still, this seems like it may be a bit off... there is a little bit of a funk and tartness to it and I’m not sure it should be there. If the next bottle is different I’ll change this rating.

Cloudy amber. No head. The aroma is odd, interesting - some dusty yeast, mild spices (nutmeg). Tart body with some spices, cinnamon and toasty malt. But it’s sour - again, bottle conditioning is not to be taken lightly.

Cloudy beige. The aroma has husky grain, pedio, foot and a hint of graham cracker. Sour, with a slight foot notes and a wet grain. Only a hint of bread in the finish. But it’s tart. Gone off - but this is new stuff? Bottle conditioning is tricky business, huh.
