Draft - Bright lemon citrus notes, tart and raw oak. Perfumy and complex. Hazy light brown with no head. Soured malts that hit and sting the back of your throat. Citrus disappears and caramel malty notes, plum and some soured dark fruit jump in. Very unusual and potent.

Draft - Oak, apple and balsamic notes. Cloudy yellow brown with no head. Lots of cider vinegar, fruity tartness and an oaky finish. Definitely odd and a little muddy for flavor, but refreshing and tart.

Draft - Dark roast malts, dark chocolate and some light sour cherry. Deep mahogany with a brown head. Dark roast, dark chocolate and the sour cherry throughout. They hit flavor profile and with a low ABV, just not my taste.
