Light gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma was grains and funk. Taste is nasty, basement, barnyard funk.

Aroma has a weird burnt quality to it, along with overripe tropical fruit, candy orange circus peanuts, coconut, buttery popcorn. Taste has a moderate bitterness and typical NEIPA sweetness. Thankfully the weird off-notes fade away after a few minutes, leaving a decent smelling and great tasting beer. Edit: tastes great while it’s cold, but goes downhill fast as it warms in the glass, leaving those horrible buttery off-notes all too readily apparent.

1500mL bottle at LC member party, 1/17/25.
Clear brass-golden. Well carbonated.
Nose is very lambic-like. Fruity Brett, soft horse blanket, mild oak and tons of stone fruit. Lean malts with biscuity/nutty wheat. Clean presentation, very bright.
A bit less impressive in the flavor with more lactic acid than Brett and other random notes that are interesting but move the beer farther away from a true lambic. More American sour notes in flavor, I suppose youd say. Still, nothing to scoff at, and in excellent shape with great body, texture and good attenuation.

A lot of rustic notes, funky, some oak, a bit fruity. Taste is along the same lines, funky, farmhouse. A bit dirty-ish with some work required to perfect this one, but it's good overall for the North American farmhouse beer.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm Clear golden, small head. Tart woody nose with funky hay. Citric with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Citric and oaky, faint notes of banana and white bread. Vinegary. Low bitterness. Interesting and innovative.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Clear deep golden, small head. The aroma holds a wide array of smokey elements. Tart with above medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Charcuterie and tarry smoke meets tartness and juniper berries. Low bitterness. Very interesting beer, but very loosely related to Gotlanddricka - if at all.

Poured @ MBCC 2023 green session (finally adding my notes). Red with small white head. Lots of berry tartness, actually quite nice, enjoyable.
