On tap at The Cooler. It pours a cloudy peach color with a small off white head. The aroma is strong with sour peach and strawberry candies. The flavor is super fruit and tart with lots of lactic acid, mild funk and big time strawberry and rhubarb tartness. Big sourness here. No weird off flavors, just massive lactic acid and fruit. Five ounces of this is plenty for me. Maybe dial this down to around 5% and add more funk in place of the overpowering sourness and you’ve got yourself a winner. Pretty interesting as it is though.

Bottle. Pours clear copper, small beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is lactic tart, funky, basement and bathroom, grainy, oak. Flavor is pretty tart, some acetone, strong rye presence. Medium body, lingering tartness and ABV burn. Hard to decide what I feel about this one.
