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.
