750ml - turbid gold - a beer with a lot of potential - it's certainly dry, decently funky, mildly acidic, with a moderate bitterness that should, in most cases, compliment the dry funky and spicy phenolics well - overall, however, the product is muddy - there's no brightness and nothing pops - it all just kind of mixed together in a way that washes everything out, blurring the boundaries between flavors and leading the one drinking it wondering what might have been.

On tap at First Draft, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto and a touch of floral hops. Flavour brings out lots of lacto, tart fruits and floral hops. This is a lacto bomb. Good stuff.

Sample at Collaboration Fest on 03/25/2017. Hazy peach color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing. Funky yeast, fruit and oak in the nose. medium body with flavors of funky brett, vinous oak, mild hops and touch of sweet honey. The finish is fruity and funky with a brett aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
