16 oz can pouted, picked up at Garden Path FP, Bellingham. Really impressed with this fun and unique brew, amd wish I would have committed to more than just one can. Really refreshing and flavorful brew. Glowing golden orange, cloudy, with loose foam head. Lots of lemon, grassy, citrus, melon, tart funk. Gentle sour IPA like flavor. Crisp front with a smooth follow. Cool bite. Aroma suggests a much more wild ale than flavor provides, but it's a nice balance. Late palate holds some Belgian notes. Floral. Very layered and complex brew for something I thought would be more simple and straightforward for whatever reason. Really loved this brew.

Draft 5 oz pour at Garden Path, Bellingham. Reddish pink appearance, patchy head. Aroma is a slightly sweet grape and mixed berry. Gentle oak character, which is more noticeable on aroma than flavor. Tart front, with more of a smooth and relaxed wine grape finish. Funky thoughout. Very good.

On tap at Garden Path - Bellingham, pours a hazy dark amber with a small white head. Aroma is very expressive, with lots of grape pomace, wild yeast, and a touch of oak. Flavour is moderately acidic, with lots of grape pomace, subdued wild yeast, and oak tannins. Dry, tannic, vinous and oaky. Excellent.
