Well I was gifted a Christmas advent calendar case of beer. Here is today’s day 1. This is, I think, an American Wild ale. It is very sour but also it’s very sweet. Sour wins out though. It’s very dark where I do get notes of dark fruit that I mainly get fig. On the can it lists its tart (yes), malty (no), complex (no), hints of dark fruit (yes) and spice (no). I’m not a big fan of sours. I’m hoping they are not all sours but I’m guessing they are. We shall see.

Ein im Eichenfass aufgepepptes Sauerbier. Deutlich weniger sauer als erwartet, hellbraun und irgendwie interessant. Aber ein zweites brauche ich nicht wirklich…

Chris B nailed the review. Nose is that of a sour. Not unpleasant but it caught me off guard. Taste is very faint at the start and builds thru the middle. Best I can say is a pine with a lemon undertone. Finish leaves a nice, soft bitterness. This one is unique. It's not bad or one I'd seek out but would have again if offered.
