COOLSHIP CHAOS 2018 if you want aggressive funk and Brett-driven complexity,
Petrus Aged Pale if you want elegant oak and restrained sourness.
Both are wild ferments, but Coolship hits harder—it's a beer that demands attention. Petrus plays the long game with subtlety. Pick based on whether you're chasing provocation or contemplation.

COOLSHIP CHAOS 2018
Coolship Chaos tastes like someone aged a pale ale in a basement full of interesting bacteria and just... let it rip. You get this immediate punch of Brett funk—funky in the good way, like old wood and dried stone fruit—then sourness creeps in, tart but never shrill. The 6.7% ABV disappears; this drinks lean and restless, almost alive on your tongue.
Petrus Aged Pale
Petrus opens softer, almost polite. There's oak evident—vanilla and a subtle woody dryness—and the sourness is more of a whisper than a shout, arriving late and lingering gently. It's got age dignity to it, the kind of complexity that unfolds as it warms. This is a sour beer that respects your palate rather than challenges it.
