Captain Lawrence Fool’s Gold

Brewed by Captain Lawrence Brewing Company
Style: Sour Ale
Pleasantville, New York USA

Gravity Cask @ Blind Tiger. Pours a hazy gold color with a barely-there head and no noticeable carbonation. Aroma is slightly barnyard-ish, a little brett, and citrus as well. Taste is brett/funk up front with citrus and soapy notes dominating throughout this basically uncarbonated beer. It’s pretty good, and definitely a very interesting attempt.

Gravity at Blind Tiger, VSK event. Pale hazy straw color with an oily microscopic head. Soapy, sour for sure, and bready. Leafy, outwardly dry smelling hops. Musty, pithy citrus aroma. Slightly washed out, earthy and dusty flavor. Sour in a tropical, under ripe fruity way - green pineapple and papaya. Excellent acidity. Oily in the mouth - I think a bottle conditioned, nicely carbonated version of this beer would rock. Interesting. Keep them coming.

Gravity cask at BTAH VSK. Pours pale gold with no head. Nose is grassy hops, barnyard funk, horseblanket, earthy. Flavor is funky up front, barnyard and earthy, bit of citric tartness, grassy hops assert themselves early on and throughout, without ever breaking free of the tartness - the combination makes for weird, corny off-flavor. Not pleasant for me. Mouthfeel was still, medium-light body.
