Brewery draught, 4/8/22. Ruby-strawberry with a rapidly fizzling, white head. Fresh herbal nose is pleasant and dotted with strong lactic notes as the bready/biscuity malts and high minerality linger on the finish. High attenuation and a light body with a high carbonation and strong lactic acidity. The herbs are done tastefully here and there's no flaw or alcohol. Good for what it is, but I don't care much for the kettle sour concept. Having this side-by-side with actual barrel-aged sours really puts in stark contrast how inferior these are, even just from a texture/body standpoint.

Brewery draught, 4/8/22. Maroon-to-black-cherry, good clarity with a rich butter-tinted, beige head showing moderate-to-low retention. Big cascara-like fruitiness in the nose gives cherry, zesty spice and its telltale almost earthy smoke character. Big maltiness adds tons of honey while the finish transitions to a balanced lactic and acetic acidity. Soft and malty in the mouth with a big cascara fruitiness replete with zesty, clove-like spiciness, funky, earthy notes and an almost cacao-like character, as the malt picks up, adding honey and easily balancing. An undercurrent of acetic-lactic acidity helps restore balance on the finish without itself going overboard. Lovely. Very impressive abv, as well!
