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.

Tap at Half Barrel dirty gold beer small head. Nose is funky for sure. Tastes of funky cheese, musty cellar floor, candied lemon peel, some white grape. Slight sour plenty funky finish. Interesting. Only got small pour which this brewery prices are crazy so nice to get to reasonably.

Draught at Novare Res, 12/29/17.
Bright copper-cantaloupe, moderate-to-low haze and a foamy, off-white head atop showing moderately-strong retention.
Peachy hops give way to moderately funky Brett with a pinch of wood, biscuit and light caramel malt behind it. Elegant and not muddled, nor trying to do too much. Perfume-floral character pushes the boundaries of being too dry/sharp but enough fruity, lightly juicy character is present to balance it.
In the mouth it's definitely more of a sour than an IPA, with low, minimally bitter hop notes yielding peach, tangerine juice and soft floral notes. Tight, moderate carbonation, good dryness and a soft-to-lightly grainy texture. Lovely stuff, very light and incredibly drinkable. No sharpness or big sourness lingering.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Looks good in the glass, zippy, small head. Fine fruity berry aroma. Starts wonderful fruity-sourish, berry notes, tart, salty, bitter background. Very well balanced. Finish less sour, more fruity. Salty aftertaste. Nice one!
