Notes

Boon gueze dregs. 85% wheat because you gotta do something crazy sometimes.

4/18/16: 1.009 gravity, funky nose, mildly sour, mild fruitiness. pleasant, not complex. might make a good base beer for some stone fruit.

9/10/16: 1.007 gravity, funky nose, moderately sour, has a kind of lemon/citric kind of acidity.
