I don't know if this was the specific name of this beer or if it's a rotating cask. This was a Belgian quad, and I can't say I liked it. Without carbonation it was way too sweet, to the point where it just started tasting weird. If I squinted though I could tell maybe there was something to it, but on cask I really couldn't like it.
Cask
Strongly tart and ambiguously fruity at the front, lingering into the finish. The flavor resolves into a thickish peach nectar flavor to close, which mixed well with the tartness. Hints of buttery Brett brings cobbler to mind and nicely sweetens out. First few sips tasted syrupy but resolved nicely over time. Very tasty!
Draft
Opening funk in the aroma and flavor. Goes very quickly into a puckeringly sour finish, and at this point you can taste the slightly murky character added by the salt. Finishes clean. I'm still kind of conflicted on this one, but I think it was overall on the plus side.
Draft
Opens like a wit, sweet with coriander and wheat. Finishes fruity, with a tart, dry notes that really recall sangria. Loved, loved, loved it. Amazing!
