On tap. Pours with a clear bronze hued body with a small off-white head. Aromas are big time fruity notes, dark fruits, acidic, waxy pedio nose, mild funky leather, earthy phenols. Flavors are hugely lactic and cleanly lactic. Lots of pedio sour notes, dark fruit, mild leathery brett. Feels somewhat big, but a nice bright note of carbonation keeps it drinkable. Well made. Lightly reminiscent of Consecration (LIGHTLY reminiscent).

Pint at some Studio City, CA restaurant. Poured a pretty clear yellow color, foamy white head. Aroma was light malts, adjuncts, crisp hops. Flavor was light malts, crisp hops. Drinkable in a pinch, I’d rather reach for something else. Maybe when it’s 100 degrees in LA, I’d grab this one over one of the more fizzy yellow brews.
