Nice sour and tart stone fruit although not that ripe and not that much funk, you know the rare barrel flavor.

On tap at MBCC Green Session. Pours hazy gold with small off white head. The aroma is strong lime zest, oak, earth. Slick body, tart lime, prickly pear, oak, very nice.

Bottle. Master of Malt. Hazed pale gold. No head. Nose has tinned peach. Apricot yoghurt. Touch of raspberry. Light, sweet oak. Soapy herb. Fresh cut oak and lemon brett. Taste is tart and lightly sour. Some oaky character. Juicy bitterness. Plenty of fruity tartness on the palate. Fine carbonation. A little drying. Lots of oaky funk and fruit to finish. Lovely beer.

12.7 oz. bottle with one of the most butt ugly goofy labels I’ve ever seen. Aroma has notes of oak, apricot, matchsticks, pineapple, Brett. Pours hazy sunshine golden with a one finger off white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sour (7/10) with a lightly bitter edge. Foamy highly carbonated mouthfeel. A good beer, but a little disappointing for Rare Barrel.
