Sample at Urban Artifact during The Extinction Event: Natural Wine & Spontaneous Beer Fest on 09/28/2019. Clear straw color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lace. Aroma of fruit, yeast, oak and malt. Flavors of citrus, floral yeast, oak and malt. The finish is floral and fruity with a yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
