Description
Libertine Brewing Company was founded in 2012 on the premise of bringing the best beer selection to the Central Coast, while brewing unique beers and products to compliment. With a strong emphasis on tradition while still being authentic to our region, we have grown from a small brewpub on the water in Morro Bay, to a 9000 square foot production and tasting facility on the edge of downtown San Luis Obispo. All of our Wild Ales are brewed and transferred into an open-top coolship overnight, which allows the local wild yeasts of our area time to naturally fall in and start the fermentation process, giving our beers a true Central Coast Terroir. Along with Wild Ales, we also make cold-brewed coffee that is aged in bourbon and wine barrels and spiced with local ingredients foraged from the surrounding hills.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed: 06/18/2018.
Bottle to tulip (sidenote: an absolute pain in the rear to open this sucker, the cork practically disintegrated on me).
Appearance: bronze to golden color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace but ended up barely leaving any lace
Aroma: sweet and tart notes of the raspberries, some lacto/acidic character, subtle grassy notes, super light lemon down in there.
Flavor: blended the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sour to tart way up front, subtle sweetness underneath; finishes tart and sour through the raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; tart and sour assertiveness is bold with this one, some pucker factor but not overbearing
Overall: a very nicely done sour/wild ale I think I'd rather have on tap again only due to the issue of dealing with a problematic cork.

2019 vintage, on tap. Dull and hazy. Lots of framboise on the nose, especially for being six years old. Tart, a touch balsamic, and lots of raspberry.
