Mac Salad is drinking a Terroir Project (2020) by Jester King Brewery
Took forever to open up. At first there was a strong burnt rubber flavor that mostly went away after sitting in the glass. Some still lingered. Beyond that it drinks nicely.

Mac Salad is drinking a Farmhouse Ale Co-fermented With Lomanto by Jester King Brewery
Drinks like a natty wine. Big funk with minimal acidity. The grapes lend some intense berry notes. Pay no mind to the underwhelming reviews, it’s just people who don’t understand what they’re drinking.
Mac Salad is drinking a Chat Flou (2021) by Homage Brewing
Definitely the most acidic bottle I’ve had from Homage. Still within balance, but tarter than usual for their beers. Initial aroma was rotten but thankfully dissipated as it sat. Lots of peach flavors. Good level of carbonation.

Mac Salad is drinking a Strawberry Rhubarb by New Glarus Brewing Company
Slightly better than the last time I tried this. Still too sweet. Personal preference aside, this bottle has a different off flavor. Something smokey, almost like burnt rubber. Please enjoy my blurry photo; it’s about as abysmal as this brew.

I get absolutely nothing from the grapes here. Just tastes like classic Tilquin gueuze. 🤷♂️
