Growler… Hazy yellow ale with no head. I can only describe the aroma as Barnyard-Extreme! Layers of fresh and stale manure, straw, horse blanket and limburger cheese – in a good way? Yep! Medium-bodied with nearly expired carbonation. Tart with essences of aged, old, vintage cheese. No residual sweetness can be found lingering in the midst of the acidity and the balancing, earthy, minerally bitterness. Finishes tart, funky and dry. Thanks to GoT for providing the growler!

Special thanks to Hoppymeal for the growler. Super funky aroma of hay, (cigarette smoke thanks to some asshole in the bar), alcohol and citrus. Flavor keeps a nice bit of hops, with a lot of wood. This is great, but I honestly wish there was a little more from the merlot. Kick ass funky and woody brew, though. Thumbs up!

[Draft @ Livery] Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, honey, vanilla, toasted malt, grapes, leather, and citrus fruits. Taste of citrus fruits, apple, tart grape, vanilla, toasted oak, wild yeast, and a dry, tart, finish. What a surprise, this was the best beer of my trip.

Draft @ MBGF Summer 08. Pours hazy dark golden color with a small white head. The aroma was a funky tart citrus with moderate sweetness and grass. Not just any grass, but the kind found in open fields like the beginning of Little House on the Prairie. The flavor is crisp and refreshing with moderate sweetness, tart citrus, wood, fruity, and more grass. This was one of the betteer beers from day two of the fest. Thanks to BBB63 for being our go to guy for the Livery.

Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Poured orange color with an average fizzy off-white head that lasted with fair lacing. Heavy complex woody sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium to heavy sour flavor with a medium sour bitter finish of long duration. Complex refreshing beer.

Tap at the ’08 MBG Summerfest. Clear deep gold pour. Sweet but sour with notes of grass, pepper, and lemon. A little aqueous like a weak saison. Medium boy with moderate carbonation.

Handbottle shared by wetherel at the Pizza Port Bottle Shop, supplied by WeeHeavySD. Thanks again you guys! Clear blond color with a big bubblegum aroma with medium sourness. Notes of peach and pear in the flavor, with yeasty biscuit character. Ends with modest tartness. Pretty tasty, and very interesting.
