Real nice sav blanc and Chardonnay blend. Mellow funk. Real nice drinkability. This feels like the most wine beer blend I've had that hasn't had actual wine in it.
So much bookers, so much boozy chocolatey deliciousness. Hints of chicory. Lovely.

8 ounce at the Congress Park location - viscous black pour - headless - rich nose of rum, oak, fudge, cinnamon, vanilla, underlying umami - thick, chewy mouthfeel - expected level of sweetness, but not cloying - lots of chocolate, espresso, vanilla, oak, cinnamon, rum, caramelized sugars, light umami underneath cuts the sweetness - long, deeply complex charred maltiness throughout the finish, bordering on smokiness - it’s dang good.

10 ounce at the Congress Park location - hazy gold with very light soapy lace - lightly carbonated - a nice mellow lacto tartness throughout, with underlying buggy funk, white grape, deep oak, pineapple - light, subtle, and balanced - a good sour ale for summer.

10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - clear light gold - clean, bright, and light - lightly sweet malt base that knows to get out of the way for the hops - even so, hops are not as assertive and bitter as they need to be in this style - they’re there, mildly dank, lightly citric and peppery - but they have no “pop,” and that light malt character still comes in to swallow them up in the finish - I think I’ve had enough of these to definitely say this brewery is not good at making West Coast IPA.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - hazy dark gold - nose of sweetened lime juice, light buggy funk, Chardonnay, oak - flavor is lightly sweet up front (with that abv, not a surprise), but gets tangy and then moderately sour/acidic late - mostly lactic tartness - notes of lime, peach, white wine, moderate oak - tart finish with lingering oak - it’s good, but not their best effort in this department.

16 oz can. Aroma is sour blueberry with maple on top. Flavor has a small amount of bready malt with an essence of pancake. Tart blueberry with a good amount of maple. It’s almost too sweet.
