4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Aroma - Faintly sweet with a little tart background. Not overpoweringly aromatic
Appearance - Yellow and hazy. Typical coloring of an unfiltered wheat.
Taste - One of the absolute best sour beers I’ve ever had. It is very sessionable, has a tart and sour taste to it that isn’t overpowering at all with a sweet undertone. Very light feeling for a beer of this much flavor. The wheat is present but is covered up by the Bret.
Palate - feels great going down. Has perfect carbonation, and a small head on it that dissipates quickly.
Overall - I had this at the Avery Tap Takeover, and was super impressed. Was served as a 10oz draft pour in a 12oz belgian style glass. Asked the waitress what the best sour they had was and she recommended this. I’m glad she did! I’ll be going back, and I hope they still have a little left over!

Tasty, tap room exclusive. Barn yard, musty aroma. Biting sourness, almost like a lambic at the first sip. Probably the most different Avery brew I’ve ever had, I was really happy to see them attempt a sour.

Draught at the brewery, on October 15, 2012
Hazy straw yellow color, white head. Funky, acidic, lemon taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Acidic aftertaste. Acidic scent. This is very much reminding me of a friendly gueuze or lambic.
