Bottle 375ml @ fonefan
Pours cloudy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, tart, vinegar, cherries and hint of acetone. Taste is light sweet and medium sour with a fruity, dry and sour finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is flat.

Bottle, 12.7 oz. An almost clear one, dark golden to amber in body and with a small, off-white head. The aroma is dominated by berry-like sourness, cherries mostly. Some lemony hints and a funky touch. It’s quite effervescent, medium bodied and tart, with flavors of berries, almond notes and some faint notes of burnt rubber I think. Lasting sour and berry-ish finish. Well, a pleasant beer, but lacks on complexity I think, and otherwise quite ordinary. 121109

bottle share at hill farmstead’s harvest festival. hazy amber, some floaters, with a decent off-white head and retention. cherries, wood, brett - some funk indeed, yeasty, light acidity, light toastiness and a some sweetness, never cloying. floral and citrusy - light but fairly present hopping. average to soft carbonation, light ot medium body, decent herbal-citrusy and earthy finish. not a big beer, not really a sour, but enjoyed it!

On tap @ Stags Head. Poured a light amber with a medium fluffy white head and excellent lacing. Aroma includes grass, slight Brett funk, oak, and sour cherries. Taste begins with earthiness and funk of yeast followed by well-balanced tart and sweet cherry flavors and a hint of vanilla. Wonderful fizzy carbonation produces a great mouthfeel and flavors linger on the palate long after each sip. Tame, very drinkable sour.

Cloudy apricot orange pour, fluffy white head. Thanks to LtDan for the share! Good guy. Aroma is sour, some citrus sourness, lemons, sour cherries and unripe stone fruit. Flavor is certainly sour, cherries, yeasty funk, light vinegary notes. Pretty damn nice stuff!!
