DenverLogan (421), Oceanside, California, USA Jul 24, 2007 Big carbonation; yellow gold color. Saison like spice aroma and taste. Green grapes, flowers, straw and champaign like in palate. Had from bottle at Stone Sour fest. Very interesting and pleasant. The description I have says: 6/8% - sour edition of an Egyptian Ale recipe.
golubj (1086), Redwood City, California, USA Nov 19, 2008 2005 bottle. Gold pour, fizzy. Aroma is a tad leathery, and a hint of citrus / tartness... just light overall. The flavor is light also; lightly tart and somewhat leathery. Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 2, 2008 Hazy amber. 1 cm head. Looks nice. Tart, slightly peach aroma is grainy, citrusy and slightly gingery. Sweet & sour. Fairly creamy with a bready/grainy underpinning. Lemony tartness is cut by the creaminess, before it becomes bracing. Some light ginger notes. Beershine (1515), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 1, 2008 Clear, warm orange-golden hue with thick creamy head. Aromas include ginger, lemon-lime, juniper. Gin and tonic aromas. Some sourness in the fore-nose not unlike the way sour candy smells. Not a bretty beer. Very high, spritzy carbonation. Candy-like flavors (SweetTarts) with lots of citrus, orange, lemon, lime. Tartness is all in the front and not the finish. Has a summery quality. Not a whole lot of sourness. Not a whole lot of depth either. Pleasant and refreshing but not mind-blowing. vyvvy (1775), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Oct 8, 2008 Pours orange with a fizzy head that leaves quickly. The aroma is powdery and perfume-like with herbal traits, some light sourness and chamomile. Medium / thin ultra-crisp body with gentle biting carbontion. The flavor has the aroma traits and more perfume and herbal aspects that keep it from being as sour as I would like for it to be. But it is still enjoyable. The finish has a touch of sweetness and is very floral. Enjoyable beer, but doesn’t seem like a sour ale to me. WeeHeavySD (2034), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 14, 2008 Old Notes, 1st Stone Sour Fest. Pours yellow with a bright white ring. Nose is a bit of black pepper and sweet. Taste is sour with too much pepper for my liking
