Draught at Publick House, 5.19.17.
Light haze. Purple burgundy cranberry. Dark beige head is big and recedes slowly to ring.
Acetic acid mixes with caramel-vanilla and bits of berry. Light oak, low toast. Some pepper phenol.
In the mouth, the acetic character is a touch too dominant while it's very bready and malty, though still attenued properly. Berry is shortlived and tart, enjoyable but just not enough. Acetic acid and bready specialty malt gets tiresome over time. Clean though and pretty good, maybe just too old?
