Provisions Series: Salt Of The Earth
Pours a light honey color, hazy as it sits in the glass. Highly effervescent, the head rises about two fingers high and retains well. There's a pretty unmistakable earthy truffle scent, faint saltiness, coriander, a touch of lactic acid and raw grain. Pretty solid nose, though I'd like the truffle dialed back a little bit. The palate is better balanced. Both sour and salty, though only mildly so, with fairly integrated truffle and coriander. The foundation of the beer reminds me of a Belgian wit; it's grainy, bready, leaning toward dry, and a little milky. The finish is very mild, spices lingering a bit, but it's otherwise pretty clean and doesn't exhibit any bitterness. Unique and enjoyable overall, though it could be better with a few tweaks. Hopefully they keep working on this one.
