5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Bottle shared by Greg, if I remember correctly. The packaging is very nice, which is not very important. The beer pours an opaque orange. The aroma is powerful with yeast and acid, and just from the aroma, you know this is going to satisfy any sour crazing, and it does not disappoint. Intense sour flavor, with some citrus, wild yeast, and wheat. There is a dry, earthy finish. This is an excellent beer, and fully deserving of a 5.0 rating.
