From the brewer

This liberation begins its journey as DBA then continues through a “chrysalis” process involving 87% French and 13% American Oak barrels, and our proprietary collection of micro flora. To blend, we selected beer matured eight to 24 months in barrels, creating a synergistic beer. Immediately, toasted oak and lemon pith swirl on the nose and palate, followed by an amazing harmony of vanilla, coconut, Earl Grey tea and spice. The finish is crisp, with mouth-watering acidity and chewy tannins. A santé!

Mild for a sour.
unknown release
Grassy straw wood smell. Tangy start and acidic apple vinegar like finish. Mild thin body.

Quite tart & drying on the tongue. I don't really like sour ales that much, and honestly I didn't like this at first, but it really does have a pleasant transition to a grain flavored finish that I very much enjoyed. Maybe there's hope for me after all?
