Feb 23, 2009 EBF Draft, poured by Scott. Pale hazy golden body with a thin white lacing. Tart and citric fruits in the aroma. Pineapple, citrus and a hint of passion fruit. Lighly woody with a dry tart citric finish. I enjoyed this offering.

Nov 20, 2008 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.

Jan 3, 2009 FInally found my notes for this one. Gravity pour at the Blind Tiger. Pale golden beer with a light sour aroma. A bit of tart lactic aroma over a light apricot and orange peel aroma. Sort of funky with a very strange grainy/wheatiness over the back. A little bit toasty and herbal with a strange astringency over the back. I do like this, but it is not nearly what this brewery is capable of. Neither terribly sour nor terribly hoppy, it just kind of comes across as indistinct... having said that, I see a lot of potential.

Dec 19, 2008 Gravity pour at the Blind Tiger. Lots of husky, wheaty, peanut brittle in the aroma, sour in back, kind of 1 dimensional. Flavor is similar, thin but clean body, easy drinking with light flavors. Very sessionable. Minor sour throughout. Not really seeing the hops. Reminds me of the early Jolly Pumpkin, though not as well crafted.

Nov 20, 2008 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.

Oct 3, 2009 Gravity keg at barcade. Poured a cloudy med amber. Sour nose. A bit thin in the mouthful. Nicely soured some dried fruits and a bit acidic. I also tasted a hint of corn that I did not care for.

Nov 21, 2008 Gravity Cask at Blind Tiger VSK 2008: Hazy headless golden pour. Mild citric aroma with acetic character, pineapple and a wild yeast/leather note. Slick body, with an odd mineral oil aspect to the flavor. It was almost fishy somehow, reminiscent of oysters, quite odd. There’s some pineapple notes with only mild tartness. A touch of grain/pale malt come through towards the finish with a mild lemon note. Not as much wild yeast depth as I anticipated.

Mar 9, 2009 EBF NOTB. Murky Gold in color. Aroma of brett, citrus, some weird funk, and some earthy hops. Taste: doesn’t seem like it was fully ready- lightly tart with some brett, apples, citrus, and some earthy hops which seemed to clash with the brett and citrus character. I’m sure this will get better with age.
