On tap at Uber. Pours cloudy, bubbly orange/copper with a nice frothy off-white head. Amazing aroma of sour fruits (apple, cherry, lemon), whiskey, honey, slightly cheesy. Tastes like it smells. Nice tart apple finish with a touch of malt.

UPDATED: APR 19, 2011 Bottle shared by Diego. Can you say Yellowbus?? The nose was almost spot on. Fantastic taste that again was eerily similar to YB. However instead of that world renown peach flavor, Vlad has wonderful white nectarine, orange, and grape notes.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2011 A good sour beer with a lot of sweeter fruity and sugary flavors that sets it apart from the pack. Lactic tartness is nice and light acetic acid adds a good amount of burn without being too much. Really freaking awesome beer.

Pours a deep purply amber. Nose is insane! Dark fruits, raisin, tart fruits, unripe grapes, sweet sugar, fruity esthers, mild grains, lactic sourness, wood, candy sugar, some hints of spice. Flavor is super full bodied candy, sour apple, tart grapes, vinous, red wine characters, wood, soft fig, dates, lactic sourness. This beer is absolutely amazing! I need more.

Poured out of bottle. Again big thanks goes out to Alex, Chris, and Jason!! Thanks for sharing this while I was in Chicago. Full of sour funkness. Slight fruit notes, cherries and tart lime. Flavor wasn’t as tart as I was expecting, I suppose it was a little mellow, but still an outstanding sour.

2010-06-26. Lightly hazy golden body, large foamy white head and lace. Really nice aroma, lovely mild funk, kisses of floral with lots of subtlety that are frankly beyond my vocabulary and further dissection ability today. Pleasant fruity sourness in the flavour, brief but lovely tropical fruit character. Mild wood notes linger in the aftertaste adding an interesting sweetness to it, but each new sip ushers in a fresh wave of sourness. Smooth A young sample diverted from the kegging process, the brewer advises that it will get more sour with age. 8+ Smooth average plus bodied palate suits the beer wonderfully. Just lovely. More please. On Tap at Raccoon Lodge, Portland.
"Experimental Unpronounceable"
2010-06-26. Delivered by the bartender as a mystery sample. If I understand the brewer correctly its a batch of the blackberry that got unintentionally infected with brett, but since they don’t really know if or how its going to get released I am going to enter my notes here, just because. Murky golden amber body with a smooth foamy white head. Fruity funk aroma, touch of pineapple and tropical fruit. 7+ Flavour is fairly sour, fruit, pineapple, tropical fruit. 9+ Smooth average plus palate. Super yummy. Gotta love a brewer who’s "mistakes" are better than half the beers in the state. Yumm! 7+/4/9+/4/17 On Tap at Raccoon Lodge, Portland.

GABF 2009 Backlog. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of funky belgian esters- lemon, hay, burlap, etc. Extremely balanced, and the acetic and lactic finish is not overpowering. One of my favorites from the session

Tap at Stong Ale 08. I had expected to have pequad at the fest, but Ron wanted to surprise me. Ive had both components of this blend, but I could not have imagined they would work so well together. Pours orange with a 2 finger tan head. Nose is tart, sweet, and holy shit, amazingly sour. Taste is sour tart, royally amazing, wow wow wow.
