Pint on draft - turbid gold with a fluffy head - I appreciate what they’re trying to do here in making a "raw," unboiled, open-fermented ale - but I always have issue with beers like this - my palate is used to contemporary beer - does this beer represent an accurate recreation and the beers of yore? - no idea - is it enjoyable to my modern palate? - not exactly, but I don’t hate it - it certainly tastes "raw," in that there is a potent rustic graininess to it - but it’s also kinda vegetal up front - not sure if that’s on purpose - the tail end is nice - dry, moderately bitter and floral, with some earthy and pepper saison yeast character - the texture is also quite lovely - soft, full, frothy - whatever.

On tap at the Yard Cafe, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk, Belgian yeast, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is odd, bringing out notes of gin botanicals, followed by rustic farmhouse yeast and dry bready malt. A little brett and floral notes on the finish. Very solid.

Draught at Row 34, 12/10/16.
Light golden with a hint of copper. Good clarity, perhaps just a touch of haze and a small, off-white head atop with moderate retention.
Juicy bacterial acids provide a lovely mix of papaya, lime, pineapple and whatnot without any overabundance of Brett to add too much apple, bread or medicinal notes. Light funk carries through to the finish which has appropriate amounts of malt to balance, adding honey, whitebread and light wheat-like notes. Very clean and with elegant acidity not seen in too many American sours; no punchy/twangy/metallic lactic character and very light on the acetic character. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it’s pleasantly effervescent and malty, yet with appropriate attenuation and a crisp, tart, very lightly puckering finish replete with limeskin, pineapple and other tropical fruit notes derived from the Brett. Great balance, with rich but not overdone/overwhelming flavors and a soft, yet drinkably crisp texture. Another homerun from Trve.

Bottle shared with Brian. Pours hazy purplish-pink, with a small, fleeting, white head. The nose is tart cherries and greek yogurt, with some nutmeg and light lemon zest. Sweet and fruity, with a lovely, mellow, tart flavor that lingers through the finish. Light to medium body, effervescent, pretty acidic, with a smooth, clean feel. This is a delicious and very well made cherry sour. Aggressive and complex, yet easy and balanced. Seriously tasty.
