Golden color, thick, rich head when poured. Spicy aroma, I detect very little sourness. Very pleasant and mellow beer, almost as if the sourness is hiding for some reason. I kept expecting more, though, I was never disappointed. Very balanced.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
