Growler thanks to a trade! Pours a clear amber orange with an off white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of sour fruit with touches of acid and lemon underlying. Flavor is a bit more reserved with light sour fruit, some lemon, blood orange and a bit of bread underlying.

Howler from clownoiseur poured into a weizen glass. Slightly hazy amber with small beige head. Aroma is nice tart, medium/light body, medium/low carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is oaky, salty, grainy, and some oranges. This is as much a gose as a wild ale, but not really as easy to drink as many goses.

Refrigerated brown bottle 66 out of 470 from clownoisser bottled August 7, 2014 poured into a weizen glass. Black with small dark brown highlights and very little head. Aroma is bourbon, medium/thick body, very little carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is rich bourbon, oak, vanilla, and chocolate. Really glad to get to try this one. No bread, no clove, no banana; not a weizenbock, but pretty good imperial stout.

Bottle courtesy of Clownoisser during Free Beer Week and shared at the C’Ville Foxy Knoxy tasting. Hazy pink-orange with a thin fizzy tan head. Good retention. Aroma of cherries, funk, floral and vegetal notes, lemon, herbal notes. The taste is tart cherry, dry lemon, caramel malt, funk. Medium bodied, low carbonation, mild lingering bitterness. Nice.
