On tap at Avery during GABF week. Orange pour with a small white head. Musty funk nose with oak and light acid. Acidic body with tart apples and light oak. Tart finish with funk, barnyard and apples.

Has some nice sweet apple scents and a huge sour funk. Pours an orange like color with minimal head. Taste is a nice lemon sour pucker with a mixture of the Granny Smith apples, nice blend. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Another nice sour from Avery. Wet decaying apple smell and malic, and acetic funk nose. Moderate pucker and nice tart lingering finish. Apple subtle but nicely present. Some stinky cheese aromas as it warms, but not offensive.

Pour on tap at Avery Sourfest 2012, pour is clear orange-yellow with white head, aroma brought surprising notes of actual granny smith apple that had been slightly overly ripe, some nice lactic, lemon tones, hints of biscuit, bread, touch of caramel and sweet cracker, some slight funk but restrained. Taste is fairly lactic, slight apple and pie-like notes, hints of overly ripe granny smith, touch of sweet biscuit and bready , yeasty notes come through as well, touch of funk, finishing fairly tart.
