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.

750 corked and capped bottle given to me as a gift. The pour is hazed orange copper with a foamy, well formed white head. The aroma is leather, funk, leafy and floral. The taste is the leather funk right away, followed close behind with the floral, leafy and picking up a nice citrus base that wasn’t in the nose. The palate is medium bodied with natural carbonation and a lingering funk. Well executed Brett beer.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of rustic farmhouse yeast and light fruity esters. Flavour is super authentic, with lots of rustic farmhouse yeast upfront, with a touch of fruity esters. Authentic and nicely constructed. Really good.

Treated as an American Wild ale, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt out orange almost brown color with a thin white foamy finger’s head that dissipates ever so slowly leaving a glaze of foamy lacing all around the glass.
The aroma starts off with funky / wild berry / barrel to woodiness. White pepper spiciness. Grassy bitter hops. Clean earthiness. And then more funk. Sour green apple flesh and skin. Muscat vinous grapes really impound the backdrop the aroma.
The flavor starts off with the vinous qualities up front with a smooth sour and then the dry woody barrel helps to balance. Sour green apple skin and flesh. Smooth sour aftertaste with a quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation yields at a good level.
Overall, nice as an American Wild ale, but fails as an IPA. But I don’t want to be overly critical in this category and take into account that someone didn’t add this correctly to ratebeer. It does say on the bottle: \"a rare wild ale.\"
