Hazy and pale. Thin. Toasty, with a bit of smoke. Slightly yeasty, not bad, but there's some phenols getting in the way here.

From a pint can. Pours a cloudy brownish amber with an ecru head. Aromas are a bit funky with some oak present. Flavors are tart with some hop bitterness. Hard to categorize but fairly easy drinking with its low abv.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2024. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma is dominated by a pungent old wood smell. Flavour has stone fruit, wild yeast. It's fine.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of phenols upfront, with subdued wild yeast. Flavour is full of phenolic notes that dominate, with tart citrus, and smoky burnt rubber. This is fucked β something wrong here.

Draft in Bellingham. Clear bright golden color white edge head. Aroma of dusty barns that sweaty horses recently abandoned. Taste has peppery funk and dusty attic corners filled with antiques. Delicious.

500 mL bottle poured, picked up at Garden Path, Bellingham. Bottled 9/1/2021. Dense reddish orange pour, thin head that fades. Tart mixed berry nose. Not as rhubarb defined as I thought and hoped on both aroma and flavor, but its there. Tart stone fruit and mixed berries sit well ahead of a gentle oak. Moderate funk and barely rich honey linger. Really easy drinking brew, and much more on the tart side than I expected. Delicious layers of sour berry flavor. Love this brew.

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.

Poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light malts, some mild funky character. Delicate. Flavor was light tasty malts, lemon, with some funky notes. At a DCBeer share.
