Description
In August of 2005, the first jack hammer went into the ground in the empty warehouse in Pleasantville, New York, that was to become the living dream of our founder Scott Vaccaro. We brewed our first batch of beer in December of 2005. In December of 2011 we moved to Elmsford, finished construction of our new brewery, brewed our first batch of beer, and slowly shut down our old location. In 2014 we decided that it was time, after 9 years of making sour and wild ales, to take it to the next level by opening our new sour ale production wing, lovingly dubbed the “Fermento Funk Facility”.

375ml corked bottle from Knightly in Orlando. Payed $2.22. Couple weeks in the fridge. No date, but everything else on the shelf is from 2016-2018. Pint glass at home. Slow & clear, honey gold pour; frothy, thick head. The label made it seem like it would be darker. Sweet n sour, concord skins, floral muscadine, lemon oil, some veg. Rich muscadine, Meyer lemon, lots of oak, orange wine, sour melon & popsicle stick finish. A dash of oxidation on the very tail. Frothy, medium acidity, sweet-tart, a bit warming even still. Good.

16 oz. can from Downtown Produce. Pours a cloudy light gold color with a white head and very good retention. Fair lacing. Strong aroma of grapefruit and hops. The taste follows the nose: Very strong resinous hops and bitterness, with a super dry finish. Not juicy at all in my opinion. Kinda tastes like turpentine. Medium+ body. Medium carbonation. Strong bitterness. At least the 7.0% ABV is well hidden. Tick.

Clear golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of malt sweetness with a hint of caramel. It's floral and quite resinous. Slight note of aniseed too.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma is citrusy, piney and grainy. Pours clear amber color with thin soapy off-white head, fair lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing piney and herbal, following is bready and faint citrusy, mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while finish is prettybitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Palefresher…

Tons of lemon here. Heavy on citrus--not so much pine like the label says. Clear golden pour with decent head. Super hop tang lemony end. Can.
