Notes from September 2013 Batch: 1015/1016. Hibernating in the fridge last few months. Served nice & sweaty. Ommegang Anniversary glass. Off-white, whipped cream head that quickly retreated. Foggy, amber, honey-ish, body. Nucleation from some lonely, misguided sediment. Acidic, sour cherry pit tang on my first whiff. A little soapy, a little yeasty. Grandma sat in this chair not too long ago. More pits in the flavor. Touch of saline/sweat. Soft tang. Just a bit of faded hibiscus tea remains. Doughy sweet, leading to a long, lingering, astringent finish. Zesty, even a bit irritating. Fluffy/starchy body, but heavy on the suds. Alcohol kept in check. Iz good.

Notes from October 2013 Bottle from some creepy cat lady in Iowa. Had this a couple times, but never got to sit down with it. Batch 1068/1069. Fluted tulip. Half inch of lingering fluffy lather. Black with brown highlights. Tangy, lightly roasted, black patent-ish, confused smell. I guess this is what they were going for. Minerally & twangy upfront, then comes the bitter roasted coffee. That sticks around for a bit longer then I'd like. Something else hides in your throat, something unspecific-ly fruity. Big, harsh carbonation. Mellow abv. Frothy, but thin. Might have been a touch fruitier completely fresh out the gate. Second half of the bottle sloshed nicely though.

On tap at Bottleworks. Pours murky amber with larger off-white head. Aroma is very floral, some spicy saison yeast, apples. Flavour has apples, some floral notes, and saison yeast. Nothing wrong with this, but the flavour combination isn't really working for me.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of off-white fluffy foam that lingers. Barnyard and brett aromas with light lemon and oak aromas on the nose. More of the same on the palate with perhaps some pumpkin. Spice seems muted with real brett and oak notes that dominate. Not overly sour, acidic or vinegary. Just a nice funky fall ale!

Can. Pour a hazy gold with a slight yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges slowly and laces. Aroma has pineapple and citrus with a bit of sweet grains and some light grass underlying. Flavor has a combination of pineapple and light dank citrus with some grass and light sweet grains backing.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a full two fingers of active, soapy head that lingers. Nice aromas of tropical fruit, pith and young pineapple. A bit of hopburn and more bitterness than expected on the palate. Drying finish with more pith, herbal and pineapple skin notes. Not bade.
