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.

75cl bottle . Fresh fruity sour nose. Sour fruity. More on the sour side, fruity but not so balanced as the Belgium counterparts. Sour fruity aftertaste, not too round, fresh though.

Sample during the "Micah's Downstairs Reopening" tasting on 03/02/2018. Brown-black color with a medium beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of fruit, malt, anise and chocolate. Medium body with flavors of mildly funky and tart fruit, black licorice, roast malt and dark chocolate. The finish is oaky and mildly tart with a fruity and malty aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Capped and corked 750 from Corti Bros. Pours translucent orange with a nice off-white head. Nice aroma of tropicals and citrus mandarin - a slight earthy funkiness. Mildly wild. Med body, almost. Flavor is pretty much the aroma. It is very nice.
