Notes:
I tried this stuff about a month ago but was too tired after my soccer game to write it up. I liked it then, but didn't have the energy to take notes.
The nose is interesting, almost industrial-like with a vinegary smell, but with a fruity/earthy punch. It hits your tongue all over the place: certainly sour, bit of saltiness and bitter, sweet and leaves a crispy aftertaste. It doesn't lack middle ground (that's an inside joke).
Again, like many good craft beers, you can't taste the rather high abv value except at the end of a swig, and even then it's pretty tame. Should age well.
I haven't got ahold of many sour beers but this has really perked my interest.
Port too?
I prepared some lasagna tonight, but something very gamey would go nicely with this: thinking a bison or venison burger.
Put the lotion in the basket.
