Bottle at the Brewpub. Poured a hazy amber with a huge yellowish eggshell head. Aroma was full of sour notes with undertones of floral and sweet fruits. Flavor began sour with a lemony flavor, but transitioned in to more of a rye hoppy flavor for the finish. Very dry on the the tongue. The transition in the flavor is a bit awkward, but other than that, a good beer.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy copper color with a humongous white head. The head looks like egg whites beat to stiff peaks. Aroma is floral, yeasty, some barnyard notes, lemon zest, oak. Flavor is peppery hops, floral notes, lemon zest, some citrus, more oak. Palate is medium light, highly carbonated, finished tart, dry, and bitter. Another great one from Ron.
